Thermalright si-97 for socket 370?

[AeriaGloris]

Will a thermalright si-97 heatsink fit socket 370? I know that socket A/370 mounting clips are simillar and that the si-97 does not use holes around the cpu socket to more firmly attatch itself (which socket 370 lacks) so i'm hoping it will. If it does work, do you think i could fit 2 of them on this?:

I'm not convinced it would fit securely. I once tried fitting a stock athlon xp heatsink on a socket 370, and the clip didn't quite reach.

Wouldn't an SI-97 be somewhat overkill for socket 370 anyway?

Sure it's overkill but that's never a bad thing

If your going to use it on that MSI board you may run into clearance issues with the video card and any fans that are mounted in the back if your case.

I have the same MSI board and I’m running 2 ALX-800’s with 80mm panflo’s and it’s a very tight squeeze

What processors are you running and how are your temps with those coolers?

I'm running dual 1.26 Tualatins @ 1.40, temps are 48-50c full load.

I was running them with the older SK6+ which kept them at 52-54c full load

I got a few pic's somewere, let me find them and I'll post them up so you can see how tight everything is.
