The manual for the Soyo 7VBA133U requires a "CPU Support Stand." I cannot find any information on this and the Soyo website doesn't help. Anyone know what this is so that I may install this mobo? Thanks - jj jones |

This refers to those who might use a heatsink/fan combo other than the one the retail version Pentium comes with. As some of these Monster coolers exceed the manufacturers maximum weight limitations the board/socket can handle. |

Thanks, Es - this is the case, using a Kingwin on an OEM Celeron 1.3G on a 370. Where would I find such a support stand? Would you recommend a different cooler? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks,

A kingwin monster heatsink for a celeron is definatly overkill. (unless you plan on doing some overclocking) Thermaltake and GlobalWin makes some very nice socket370/socketA all copper coolers that won't break the bank and will not facilitate the need for a motherboard socket brace or standoffs to hold the whole thing together. |

Thanks again, ES. After some 3 Emails with Kingwin's Tech Support, where they stated that their KAE3031 did not need the support stand, I discovered that the 3031 is too big for the mobo as it would push hard against a capacitor if installed. I'm using a smaller cooler. Thanks again. JJ. |
