Golden Orb size and KA7 board...any problems?

[Terp]

I have ample cooling in my case right now, but one can never have enough =) ...not to mention I still have the *stock* fan on my Athlon...

I heave heard the golden orb is big, "Three DIMM slots big" in some cases, so wondering how much room does it take on a KA7 board...will it block one of my DIMM slots? ...I have 3 in-use, one is free, but hate to limit future expansion...

Also, anyone else using the exhaust blowers that fit in empty isa/pci slots? not the ones that actually use the slot's power, but just rest in the free slot and work off the p/s...I have two in my new case, and while they have a little noice, they seem to work well!

I think nfs4 has one of those setups.

Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Anyone? =)

The Ka7 has a huge space for heatsinks, I think it is the biggest of any athlon board. At most the Golden Orb will take up one of four dimms. I highly doubt it will take up any though.

I have an Orb on my KA7 with all DIMM slots full.
No problems what so ever there.
