IUMaestro Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Ok, stupid question prolly.. I'm still using socket A till I win the lottery for 64 bit. but i want to grab a better heatsink to get some better temps... i'm not so happy anymore. never owned a Thermalright, nor heatpipage. Why do all these fancy heatsinks out now only want to support 478/754/939/940/775, but not 462... I've got a board with the 4 screw holes on the socket's corners... so doesn't that mean i can get away with something? gimme a recommendation plz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNothing Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 they all support the newer sockets because not many people are looking for a socket A heatsink these days cant make money selling to 2 people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUMaestro Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 well riight. i guess i'm tryin got confirm that if a product doesn't list "socket A" compatability, but still connects to a board via the 4 screw holes, not the socket itself, I should be able to make it work.. I assume. anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 umm no bc 754/939 uses two holes, and 478/775 use four hole spaced differently, you COULD make your own adapter...but really...why not buy one of these http://www.thermalright.com/product_default.htm (click link for SP-97 under AMD) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 the SI-97 you mean... the SP-97 is a relic of the past... i've not seen it for sale for years... you could pick one up 2nd hand i guess, but who wants a used heatsink? :| if you like bolt-through and all-copper, you could get the SLK-947u... i've seen that for sale recently so it's still around http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main_product_slk947u.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobalt Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) Get the SI-97A it will fit your socket A and has attachment for your future socket 939 or Athlon K7/K8 Socket 754/940 and you have the thermalright top of the line cooling Edited October 20, 2005 by kobalt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
