Probably a dumb question, but I just wanted to check before I go out and buy these. Anyone here running a Swiftech MC462A on an EPoX 8K7A(+)? Any problems with it? Thanks.

It will fit without any problems. It is a little close where the standoffs bolt to the motherboard but use a fiber washer under each stud and all will work well. Running at 1507 and it only runs about 38C while surfing the net.

Also, be very careful, one of the standoff posts is very close to a surface mounted resisitor on the bottom of the board. The nylon nut will sit right up against it. I didn't realize the post and nylon nut was turning on one of my 8K7A+'s and the nut took the SMR right off the board...dead board. Just don't rush...:)
