Fitting a Scythe Ninja on Socket A...

[S_G]

I was wondering if anyone knew if it's possible, at all, to get a Scythe Ninja to fit on an Athlon 1200 Socket A. I've got some parts around, so I want to build something very silent. Any thoughts?

If not, should I just grab a 60mm to 80mm fan adaptor and slap on a quiet 80mm fan? Gotta keep myself busy for another 3 weeks, until I can grab me a Conroe.

why not juss get a big typhoon, it works with socket A and can be pretty quiet with a low speed fan

If you have one of the Socket A boards with the four mounting holes, it should be possible. But that would be a heck of a lot of weight for two clips.

I already have the Ninja, and I don't feel like spending anything on an old system. I'm thinking of putting a 60mm to 80mm adaptor on a Cooler Master AthlonXP 2500+ heatsink, and then some quiet 80mm fan on top.

I guess I'll end up having to spend a few bucks on the fan if I can't get the Scythe to fit by any other means (string?).

Thanks, guys.
