Don't post much nor sell much, but I have these lying around collecting dust and I figured I would post them before recycling.
I have no way to test them other than to say they were in production servers before being pulled for an upgrade years back. They have since been stored in an antistatic...
No, I would say that wouldn't have been the case for one reason only: that exposed die. The tower cooler requires more clamping force to remain upright, and as you shrink that base down to an Athlon sized square, I cannot imagine the number of chips you might ruin from just bumping that cooler...
It was a common thing to do. I remember reading all the info from Alpha and it always said to make it a draw through design. I decided to use a case with a side fan to exhaust the hot air.
This is an old Akasa, but requires no extra hardware. You would just need to find a fan and the correct screw hardware to try it.

NOT a heatsink to transport around though, as I just found this review with the weight listed...
Alpha PAL8045 on the right vs the Thermal take Volcano 6 Cu+ on the left. I got it because it kept my box cool enough at stock speeds and quieter than others with the Y.S. Tech fan I chose. EDIT: Also note, the Alpha was a draw through cooler, pulling the air up and not pushing it down. The...
These guys have given you some good info here. I used those mainly on Duron chips, but that's why I said to lap the heatsink for the best chance. I was in Starfalcon's boat, I ended up with the Alpha PAL8045 because I tried my buddy's DragonOrb. While it was cool with the Orb, it was an...
Hey now, before I had a single machine, I was rocking an optical trackball on the main rig, really helped my wrists!
So my son has decided I might not be so wrong, he went out and bought a new hard pad from Logitech!
My man! In college when I had an hour to go from one job to school I would make the picante chicken ramen, drain the noodles, put in an egg, and turn the burner back on til it solidified somewhat. Quick and dirty, but I also didn't use all the seasoning packet. I ate so much of it I stopped for...
I will say the seller page includes advice to use tips different from the ones you linked:
"Replacement for 4ETH, 4ETK, 4ETO, and 4ETS is necessary. For WEP 70 4ETHL, 4ETKL, 4EKOL and 4ETSL must be used."
Anyone bought from the site before?
That is a dang good combo! I have my KT7 non RAID board in the basement still but it needs all the caps replaced, so jbenedict is right on the money. GLWS!
You might try a WTB thread and see, but I plan on being buried with mine...... Just had a LAN party with the kids and my oldest hates it! Little bit of furniture polish and it is slick as all get out! He's so used to draggy cloth.....
The part number on the sticker says E97379-003 on both. Looks like this:
