He! He! I, Bandito, have an A7M266 mb, but it will not accept my Swiftech MC462B hsf. :( The A7M266 has an extra capacitor in the way. I am conversing with Swiftech and CoolerGuys to figure out what to do, but I think ultimately I will have to go with the 370-07A model which I am not even 100% sure if it will work too. I'll measure it later. A bit distraught at the moment. :(

You might want to take a look at this review, it gives some specific recommendations about jumper settings that worked out well when I just set up a A7M266 with a 1.2 Bird(9X133).

Take particular notice to the info about V I/O1, I followed their advice and improved my Sandra Memory Scores.
