I am grasping straws at this point. Is there anyone in the Boston, MA (Actually I live closer to Worcester) that has the Alpha 8045 and might be willing to let me see if it will fit on my motherboard?
I would really rather not eat the $40 it will cost me for the heatsink shipped, but I think if it fits that this would be the best solution to my noise vs need for cooling issue.

Thanks,
Mark

I have already done both. My motherboard is not on the list and nobody ever responded to if they have tried it with my motherboard.
Soltek SL-75DRV2.

Thanks scootmaster, but I already bought one. Lets hope it fits.
My nephew lives in Amherst. He goes to Umass and lives off campus.
Go say hi he works at Media Play. Ask for Jon.
I went to Umass 1985-1987. Great area out there.

It's crazy out there. Do you guys really need all of those frat houses? It was like there was no end to them all! BTW I live in Tewksbury, but I have an SK6...

Went to a Frat party at Umass in 1985. They kicked all the guys that were not frat brothers out at 1am.
Of course they kept all the girls. I don't drink beer, but if I did it was only $5 for all the beer you could drink.

Umass was much wilder back in the early 80's. Then they had a few rapes and some kids died.
When I was there every Thursday-Saturday night a cop sat at the entrance to every dorm and checked
ID's if you had alchohol and were under 21 they arrested you on the spot.
One of the dorms I used to hang out at had everybody on one floor kicked out of school for being busted
too many times. One time one room was busted with over 100 5ths and over 300 cans of beer.

Actually Umass can be a very good school if you study.

Sorry off subject I know.

It just shipped today. It went Priority mail so I should get it by Wed or Thur.
Lets hope so because I go away for three weeks Sunday. To Sunny Florida for
Christmas. Yeah I know 80 degrees on Christmas day isn't a very New England thing,
but at least I get to go to a theme park or two.
I go almost every year now. I miss my computer the most. No computer at my parents and
no internet. Crap now I don't want to go.
