I just got my Tyan Thunder K7 dual athlon motherboard. It has the 4 hole mounts on it but tyan put there capacitors to close to the socket. I know for sure that the swifty and alpha sinks cant be used but i have seen one pic with someone who has golden sockets which raise th soket up a bit and were able to use a swifty. Can anyone confirm this?
Heres the pic i was talking about:

i wish i knew.. but gloden sockets are 50 bucks at plycon.. so ud be spending alot of cash on this... why not go with water cooling? id get better results, and you know for sure that it would work..
