I got a mobo from a friend that says it doesn't work, I'll check it and if it works I'll get a celly CPU and try to overclock the **** out of it... I have a Socket A HS that keeps my overclocked K6-III very cool, would it work as well on the Celly? I want to get a Celly 600 or something close to that... What do you think?

I suppose that is right, but you must look if there's enough room around the socket :)

The heatsink is 60x60mm so my guess is that it will fit.

Don't the K6-III's use Socket-370? I was pretty sure they did.

i thought the K6-3 was socket 7. Anyone have any idea?

Socket 7(K6-2, etc) Socket 370(P3E, etc) and Socket A(for God's chosen processors. My bad) all have the same dimensions.

The height of the tops of the various CPU's that fit into these three types of sockets above an imaginary reference datum line drawn at mainboard level is not the same, however.

This fact leads to the question: Which HSF is right for MY processor?

Basically any socket can work on 370. I had a P4 sink on mine. Clip needs modding but not that much. But the P4 sink is alot bigger than my sock. 370.

I know the Swifttech MCX370 is listed for use with sockets 7, A, and 370. If there is a variance then you run the risk of breaking something which on an Amd you definitely don't want to do.

Thats why I stated, on a "370", I never have dealed with AMD, especialy when the local computer repair shop has a whole pile of cracked athlons and durons. What a tragic and horrible site.
