WARNING!
Some motherboards, while in full compliance with AMD specifications, do feature capacitors that are taller than the clearance provided by these notches. In these instances, it is not possible to install the MC462 in its current design. Below is a list of known incompatible boards, which will be updated as we go:
Known incompatibilities (as of June 1st, 2001): Asus A7A266, Gygabyte GA-7DX, GA-7DXR Tyan Trinity KTA, Tyan S2462 UNG Thunder K7 dual CPU, FIC AZ11E
Possible remedies: some of our users have reported cutting one of the heat sink corners to allow mounting despite the extra tall capacitors. Although this solution is mechanically acceptable, any modification made to the HS will void the product warranty. Here are pictures of such modifications with an Asus A7A266 (thank you to Michael Sukach for providing these images):
