Soltek and Alpha

[Cancer12]

Does anyone know for sure if the Soltek SL75DRV is compatible the the Alpha PAL8045? thanks

If you are talking about the SL-75DRV2, the 266a board, I will know shortly.
I took the plunge and bought an Alpha 8045 I should have it later this week.
If it's the right board I will let you know ASAP.

I just got the sl75drv2 board today and checked it with my Alpha 8045. It will not fit without cutting a corner off the 8045. There is a large Cap that is blocking one corner. The whole corner needs to go including the screw hole for the fan. 3 screws should be plenty to hold the fan anyway...the H/S mounting screws are all fine. The sink is thin at the corners already, a dremel cut-off wheel should do the trick.
