what HSF will work on a socket 7 ???

[scottatwittenberg]

i am fixing someone's computer.. amd k6 233.. and the fan on the cpu is dying... can i put a $5 socket a speeze on it? socket A and socket 7 appear to use the same clips to attach a hsf.. will it work?

I have an old socket 7 laying around... Lemme check if it will fit


Edit: It looks like it should fit fine, but I have a capacitor right next to the ZIF socket (and when I say right next to it, i mean touching the socket)

As long as you have room around the socket and it clamps down firmly, go for it

socket 7's have no clearance around them, otherwise it will fit.

I just installed a Socket A heatsink on a K6 400 MHz. Worked like a charm! Just make sure there are no capacitors in the way. Now let's see if I can hit 450 MHz!

ok.. thanks... i will keep that in mind if that fan keeps acting the way it does...
maybe i can tell the guy to drop $15 on a k6-500 and $10 on a fan.. and double his speed...
