Which is better? When I mean better, I not only mean preformance-wise, but for O/C'ing too.

The 947U I believe, since it is the next step in the SLK series of coolers. Also, performance of the HS, and the amount of OC you can achieve is directly related. But, since we are only talking about a few degrees difference at the most, there shouldn't be any advantages getting the 947U except the fact you can brag you have one.

Probably the 947U since it's both bigger and has a newer design. But you really can't go wrong with either. Just make sure you're motherboard can fit it and has mounting holes for it.

Would it work with a Asus P4C800-E Deluxe? Or maybe an Abit 175-G or w/e...been thinking about that too.

Actually both are basically of the same size. I would tend to say that the 900U actually has more copper. The 947U was designed to avoid the problems with the IC7/IS7 boards with the new HSF on the NB and also some other mobo imcompatabilities. They solved with by basically making the cut in the side of the heatsink extend more towards the top so that it would clear some nearby mobo components.
So overall, they should perform very closely but if you've got a board that has problems with the 900U, then by all means get the 947U, but if not, either will do fine.

Both ther 900 and 947 work perfectly with the P4C800-E. As for the Ic7/-G, you'll have to find out if it's got the new NB fan. Most do now I think.

The fins on the SLK-900 does press down on the IC7s new NB heatsink... So you would need to do a little work on it before using it...
I pressed the heatsink down but it does pop the heatsink up a little in the other corner... I think that is why my overclocks are being flakey recently... Dunno why it started up.. I yanked my 2.8c out of my IC7-G and dropped it into my KNXP and it ran solid at 3.5Ghz...
So I am starting to believe either the board or the raised NB cooler is the cause/root of my problems..
I know it sounds off topic.. But its really not :D Since you are asking about the SLK-900 and the IC7-G :) And this is related to those :D

What's a NB fan?
Is the IC7-G better than the P4C800-E Deluxe...one main reason that I might get the Abit over the Asus is because the IC7-G has overclocking stuff in the BIOS that makes it easier to overclock...would you be able to O/C a P4C800-E Deluxe to the same thing you could O/C a IC7-G to, if you had the proper cooling?

In my experience (ands its the same for the extreme overclockers like Macci) The Asus overclocks a little higher and performs a little better... (it also didnt have the 255FSB problem like ABIT did/does)...
But the Abit (like you had mentioned) BIOS is packed with settings and tweaks that Asus just doesnt have :(
The NB fan is the North Bridge fan.. Some motherboard makers use a passive heatsink or a heatsink with a fan to cool down the chipset.

If you have a good heatsink, do you need the NB fan?
Are Asus mobos hard to O/C?

Dude, the motherboard has a NorthBridge on it. This component gives off alot of heat, the heat goes into a HS, if you take that heatsink off and try to start your computer you will fry your motherboard. If a heatsink is designed to have a fan on it, I will not advise you to take the fan off or unplug it, these actions will result in a fried motherboard.
To see where the northbridge is located on an ATX compatible motherboard look at this picture(it's the one with the golden hs):

There are 2 types of NB coolers:
1. Active = with a fan on the NB hs
2. Passive = no fan on NB hs(like the pic I posted above)

That all depends on how good the hs is on the mobo you wanna get. If you're getting the P4C800E-D then I'd say you should be fine.

Most people only get about 3-5fsb more with a better NB cooler. I don't think it's worth it.
