Asus K8V and Thermalright SLK948U

[Foxi]

Hi,

does anybody know if the new Thermalright SLK948U fits on the Asus K8V Deluxe?

Thanks

Yes. Check out the compatibility list for that cooler: http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main_support_faq_motherboard_slk948_k8.htm

I got it, too, it's not too hard to install except that you need to get rid of the backplate which is already mounted on the K8V. You'll need to apply "some force" (Quotation from ASUS Support). They use some sticky stuff on a large surface so it's really a pain, but if you're careful then nothing will break.
