skinny processor heatsink?

[thirdfey]

Hey all,

I just purchased the Tyan 2505T mainboard with a boxed Intel P3 1gig/133 proc. I recieved them fine and on time from rackmountpro.com but have a problem. The heatsink that came with the intel processor from intel is too big, it won't fit on the board since there is a capacitor right above the socket that is tall. The intel heatsink is way too wide for the board!!! Anyone have a good alternative heatsink/fan that is the same width and length as the processor socket, height is not a problem. The capacitor is at most a quarter of an inch from the socket. Please help, I need to get this system up and running early next week.

thanks in advance,
tony

Try a large Socket 7 HSF. SOunds strange but they do work especially if you use Artic Silver. I have gotten round similar problems myself by using these, and not had any problems with heat.
