[ALENGOSVIG1]

Im thinking of ordering a SK-6 for my athlon 1.4 ghz. im not sure if it will fit on my motherboard though. i have an asus a7a266 motherboard. im worried that the capactitors will be in the way. has anyone used the SK-6 with an asus a7a266 motherboard?

I'm running an SK-6 on my A7A 266. Plenty of room for it. You should'nt have any problems at all.

The SK-6 is well designed - and I haven't seen a motherboard that it won't fit on. There are probably some out there - just I haven't seen one yet.

Make sure that you mount it properly - that it doesn't get hung up on the top of the socket - where the lip is.

Use good thermal grease - such as Artic Silver II, in a thin layer on the core.
