Shuttle ak31 rev3.1 and what heatsinks fit?

Hey all. I'm about to get an amd athlon 950mhz (200fsb.. it's $58 bucks!!!), shuttle ak31 rev3.1, and 256mb ddr-sdram. I have been figuring the speeze superrock is a good, cheap cooler that will do that trick just fine.. BUT.. I've heard the shuttle board is kind of tight around the cpu socket (not to mention the chipset fan being a potential problem as well)... anyone here use the superrock on the ak31? Anyone know where I can find a list of coolers tested on the board (shuttle's site has no info on that)... or at the very least the maximum size heatsink dimensions that would fit?

Thanks.
 
You might want to try the GC-68 cooler as seen on this site. It is both inexpensive and very effective. I just tested the fit on that board and it was fine. It does require a bit of patience, but it will fit OK. The space around the cpu is not that much different from others I have seen. Don't know a thing about the "superrock" you mentioned.
 
I just installed a gc-68 on my ak31, too! Works great, and very quiet. I used Arctic alumina. At first, my temps were high, but I hadn't added enough thermal compound. Just checked & Sandra reports 43 for my 1.4 ghz T-bird. My stock heatsink was loud and didn't cool as well.
