92mm fans may have more CFM than 80mm, but the air is coming out with less static pressure. I havn't tried a 92mm fan on my slk-800, but I have been reading at Overclockers forums that 80mm fans work better with narrow spaced thin fin heatsinks like the slk-800.
You might even be able to try the "80mm SK-6" diagonal trick to get your 92mm fan on a SLK-800.Originally posted by: LED
Well mines actually a Thermalright SLK-800 (A) but I think the Base is the same...for kicks and giggles I tried the clips on a 92mm Fan and it worked...although the clips do not fit in the right place it is secure as you can see...

My Systems ranges from 35-42C with a 1700XP OC'd to 2.2GHz with 1.775v's and it runs a lot cooler with the 92mm

I also tested the difference between 92 & 80 because the HS design is so narrow compared to the fans.
I used a smartfan2 (80mm) & a zalman zm-f2 (92mm), both at very low voltages to achieve near silence.
On an 8rda+ using USDM, the 92mm zm-f2 temps were: 48/34ºC & the 80mm smartfan2 was at 52/36ºC
Nevermind that I was still unhappy with the smartfan's noise.
Also this was using a 900u, which is slightly larger
