A friend of mine has an EPoX 8KTA3 board and had a bit of a nightmare situation a week or so ago.. Her heatsink ripped right off the socket (broke one of the middle lugs clean off) and of course the processor was fried. What would be a good replacement heatsink that uses either all of the lugs or is hole-mounted? This will be for a Duron 1ghz. I don't know of any inexpensive heatsinks that have good mounting. The only heatsink that really comes to mind (and looks like it would clear the capacitors) is the new AX-7. The capacitor that might cause some trouble is the one to the bottom right of the socket in this picture (right next to the DIMM sockets):
