EPoX EP-8KTA3 and Swiftech MC462-A

[BlakeM]

Just bought a Duron 800 and an EPoX EP-8KTA3 with plans to OC to 1.07 and cool it with the MC462-A. Upon looking at the pics of the EPoX board, the sheer size of the heatsink and how close the capacitors/memory slots are to the CPU socket, I was wondering if this would even fit? Anyone used this setup before, or know if it will work? Thanks.

I'm using the Taisol CGK761CU-BIG at the EP-8K7A. This heatsink is as big as the MC-462.

And there is still enough space. I don't think there is any problem with the MC462-A

The later revision MC462-A has the corners notched out to make room for capacitors in the way.
