The Thermalright SLK-900A discussed here is a great deal at $19.99 and seems to fit current boards just fine. I had no problem installing it on my Albatron KX18D Pro II, which has some capacitors pretty close to the CPU. Very easy to install (uses clips, not bolts!).

What's the major difference between the SLK800, SLK900, and SLK947?

From what I gathered, the SLK900 is just about the same as the SLK800, except it supports up to 92mm fans (whereas the SLK800 supported up to 80mm), and its base is a bit smaller so it fits comfortably on more motherboards (without having to bend capacitors and whatnot). What's the difference on the SLK947? I hear the performance difference on all 3 heatsinks are 1-3% of each other, so there's no real bonus of going for one over another, unless you wanna squeeze the absolute most out of your system.
