I'm just about to upgrade and I have decided to go with a either a Soltek SL-75DRV4 or SL-75DRV5 with an Athlon XP 1800 and from what I have read there are some compatibility issues with some of the larger HSF's. I was wondering if anyone could give me a list of the best HSF's that would fit this mobo and keep my processor nice and cool.

That's one reason why I didn't like that motherboard. Not just PAL8045, but other larger heatsinks didn't fit as well. Just because of one damn capacitor, geez.

I think the DRV5 should work with big HSFs, look at the picture on Newegg, there aren't any more caps in the way..

Ya i noticed that with the DRV5, didnt have that capacitator anymore. I used a millenium glaciator on my DRV2 for a while, but i had to dremel off the corner.

I use the SK-6 with my soltek. It fits fine, but you're definetly not squeezing any large HSF's on the board.

*shrugs* The cooling with my sk-6 is fine if you ask me, but that's just my opinion.
