    Does any1 know any sites that currently have this in stock? The ones i've looked at or all out of stock or 2-3 weeks :grr: and this is the one i'm after. I don't know of any better h\s so i'm sticking with this decision :p
    Thanx

    If nobody has them then you'll have to wait. There's probably only one or two main suppliers in the UK. I'd shoot an email or two off to get a set date when they'll be available.

    you might want to consider the slk-900a, i know it doesn't have the heat pipes but its 10 bucks cheaper at frozencpu.com and its in stock. I have a slk-900a and an sp-97 and there is only about a 1-2 degree difference.

    Yeah but shipping from New York to the UK would be both slow and expensive. It would probably make up price by quite a bit and about the restocking time.

    They have every other one in stock apart from the SP-97, they have the SP-94 in stock, i can't see the difference between the two on pics, and on a few sites they say it fits socket a??? what is the actual difference?

    i just bought a sp-94 for my p4 machine and yes it can fit some athlon boards because it has 2 sets of mounting holes in the base. so if your mobo has mounting holes for the hsf it should work just fine.

    the only difference i can find between the 94 and 97 is the mounting base, i will double check and let you know.

    Mail the supplier you intend to purchase from ;)

    And ask about the neo backplate.

    Fan

    What would be the best fan to include with the SP-97 as i can't find any 92mm Deltas :duh: Unless someone can point me to some :thumb:

    Yeah they blow alright - I had one on my sp-94 but it was just way WAY too noisy and I binned it in favour of a 92mm zalman, much better. The drop in temp that the delta fan gave was only a couple of degrees - not worth the noise IMHO.

    I noticed no difference between an 80mm delta sceramer, and a 92mm vantec stealth. and about a 3' drop using the 92mm tornado.

    No results from my blower yet, will let you know though when i do.
