yes as long as you mount the slk-947u fins away from the north bridge. It can be made to fit otherwise by bending teeth (or fins) on the nb-47j but not recommended.
You mean that I should mount the 947 horizontal instead of vertical?
There is on problem though, as I see it.
If it is vertical the PSU can draw air through the fins, that isn't possible when mounted horizontal.
Maybe I should look at some other, smaller, NB coolers.
One final question, not NB related
The best fan for the SLK-947U is that the 80mm TT Smartfan 2?
I have read that 92mm fans are not that effective on the SLK

I'm sure that many would agree with that ...as far as noise etc is concerned.
I don't have that particular fan but I'd sure like to give it a try.
My duct only accepts 80mm and not 92mm.
I have tried the tornado 80mm sucking & ducted vs the 92mm sucking & non ducted and the 80mm is far superior in that respect. As far as the most effective I would say that 80mm is probably the most effective of the two but I have no references only speculation.

Yes, the most effective fan for the SLK heatsinks is the Tt SF2, with the possible exception of the 80mm tornado. And yes, I've got test results to back that up, but I've been too busy to post them.
I found a Smartfan 2 Coolmod at a price of $13.7.
They had a few left in stock. It was among their Clearance items.
I used a shop in Germany, their shipping was similar to the shops here in Denmark.
And I saved a lot of money on the HS.
It is retailing at $67 here in Denmark their price is $47.5.
My total order consists of:
TT Smartfan 2 Coolmod
Bright red LED
Thermalright SLK-947U
Shipping.
Total $64

SF2 looking good so I copied the specs:
Cooler Dimension: 80x80x77.3 mm Max. Air Flow: 20.55 CFM at 1300 RPM
Fan Dimension: 80x80x25 mm 75.7 CFM at 4800 RPM
Rated Voltage: 12VDC Air Pressure: 1.45mmH2O at 1300 RPM
Starting Voltage: 6VDC 8.43mmH2O at 4800 RPM
Rated Current: 0.20AMP ~ 0.70AMP Noise: 17 dB at 1300 RPM
Power Input: 2.40W ~ 8.40W 48 dB at 4800 RPM
Bearing Type: Two Ball Bearing Life Time: 50,000 hours
Connector: 3 PIN
I suppose I don't have to use the probe ...the thought of that thing interfering with the cpu or heatsink contact makes me uncomfortable.
I guess I am OT in my own thread.
I didn't order a NB cooler .

Well don't put it between the CPU & the heatsink!
You're supposed to put it next to the cpu core, or on the base of the heatsink; either way, you'll get thermal control that doesn't interfere with the CPU or heatsink contact. It'll run a bit hotter (3-5*F in my case) than running it at full speed all the time, but it'll be quieter.

lol ...ok I saw someone describe winegums and show pics once but I never really got to taste them ...don't they come in like a gazillionandone flavors or something?
Just to add something to the thread, apart from my obvious love of Wine Gums, my Zalman NB cooler wouldn't fit next to my Zalman CNPS7000A-ALCU HS/F originally, so I just bent off some of the (NB) sinks rods and now it fits and works like a dream. Though I wouldn't really advise doing that if you plan to overclock.
Unfortunately I didn't receive any winegums with my order.
Maybe the other guy got a special shipment?
I have postponed my NB heatsink puchase.
I gave the fan a drop of oil instead, and now there is no noise coming from it.
Maybe I will reconsider in a few months.

the tornado is sucking thru the fins and thru the nb-47j ...thru the duct and out thru the blowhole.

What is the temp difference between AS3 and AS5?
They also stock the SLK-948U Athlon64 HS.
I haven't seen it anywhere else.
I haven't really looked either.

I want an slk-97 =p
A guy told me in a newsgroup that I get a bag of winegums for free, along with my order.
If that is correct Pc-Cooling.de is kickass.
Here is a link to aid you in your hunt.

Look under products, there are several types of winegum being sold in the US
