SLK800 or SLK800U or SLK900U

[butthead007]

i have been looking at thermalrights site and i cant find if the SLK800 will fit my mobo(A7N8X non-deluxe). i know for sure that the SLK800U does fit without bending anything. i also know that the SLK900U will fit my mobo but u have to bend some stuff and i rather not bend anything on my mobo. am i right? the thing is i cant find the SLK800U here in holland only the other two. so i have to take the 800 or the 900U. is there anyone who has this mobo with this heatsink that can fill me in on witch one i should take?i'd apreciate it.

The 800 does fit. I use it in the same board. It's a really fine cooler. I can't speak for the 900 though. I haven't heard anything one way or the other about it. It gives almost negligible cooling over the 800 though. Both are awesome, in any case.

thanks for the info...
but i just found a place where they do sell the 800U. so i geuss i'll go for that one. and i also looked at the 900U again... and it does NOT fit on the A7N8X unless u severly bend capacitors.so i'm not taking any chances.
