With some modding I'm sure it could fit 😉
 
Absolutely not. As far as I remember, the stock K8 sinks are MUCH bigger than the heatsink mounting prongs on the Socket As.

By modding I meant cutting the heatsink, which is why I said it jokingly...so yes its much easier to buy a socket A heatsink like the CNPS 6000.
