Will the SLK-900A fit on my mobo?

[DahDee]

I have the Albatron KX18D Pro II, want to buy the 900A with the SVC deal, but can't tell if it will fit. Thanks for any help!

It should fit just fine, although it may be difficult to clip it on since the Northbridge cooler is so close to the CPU socket..

Thanks for the response! Do you mean I won't be able to clip it on, or I'll just have to be extra careful and/or do some angling to get it in there?

Looks like no problem to me. I looked at it on my mobo compared to that albatron, it may be a bit close to that one capasitor, but it should fit just fine.

And darn, 19.99 at SVC is plain azz kickin'! 19.99 - with coupon code "thermalright


Getting the rear clip on may be a slight hassle, as Vegetto mentioned. Just go slow. I've had some tighter than that. You may need to use a screwdriver to assist.

Thanks! I went ahead and ordered it from SVC. I'll let you know what happens with installation.
