socket 940 HSFs on a 939?

[Millow]

<kakomu> I need to find a socket 939 heatsink and fan
<kakomu> and I need a straight answer on if socket 940 HS+Fans work on a 939
<kakomu> since the only apparent difference between a 940 and a 939 is a pin
<kakomu> I'm assuming they're basically the same size

well? can 940 HSFs work on 939s?

oh yes

<smartass>Get one of the Swiftech heat sinks and just cut off one of the pins and it should work just fine</smartass>

yes. Works like a charm. Also - just so that it is not a future question - the 754 heatsinks also work on 940/939 setups.
