Which Taisol heatsink to use with the MSI K7T Pro2-A?

[Uconn411]

Before I order from monarch computers, I just want to make sure I get a HSF that fits. Specifically, which one of these 2 Taisols would be the better choice? The CGK742092, or the CER733092, for use with a Duron processor, and the MSI K7T Pro2-A. Thanx in advance.

The CGK742092 is the best one for performance, and I think also for noise level (Not realy shure)

I just thought that the CGK742092 needed some modification to fit on the MSI K7T Pro2-A motherboard. That is why I was thinking to go with the other model(does it also need to be modified to fit right)?

i think there's a lil' prob with the cgk and the msi
so you might want to get something smaller i suppose

The CGK742 will not fit on the K7T Pro2A, according to Taisol. They said the CGK733 was the best fit.

I took my Taisol outside and rubbed the corner against the concrete ground until it fit ;-) Works wonders cooling my Duron 700@950 right now. Rarely goes over 40C. Normally around 32-34C. It's worth it if you don't mind filing it down, or attacking it with your back patio.

I have the identical set- up in question- there is a voltage regulator sticking up from the board which hits the corner of the sink- I had to be a little brave and bend it slighty, but fit fine afterwards.
