IIRC You can just use the fan bracket to hodl down the waterblock if used correctly.

If you're good on working with aluminium you can easily make an adapter for most popular WB's from 2 to 4mm alu sheet.
I found the A64 cooler specs and dimensions in AMD's Athlon 64 and Opteron Thermal Design Guide.
I'm planning to make an alu adapter plate between the four original holes of my Cascade WB and the two A64 retention holes.

Swiftech have either the MCW5000-64 or the MCW5002-64.

DangerDen have the A64-Maze4 and the A64-RBX... all in lucite or copper / brass tops (dependant on whether u choose Maze or RBX as to copper or brass.)

Other than the fact your going to need alot more airflow to that tiny Radiator, or a different Radiator it will do pretty well. By alot more airflow I mean at least a pair of SFII's, you can manage noise somewhat by putting them on a controller, however get them spinning to slow and your gonna get hot quick...

Haven't actually used two, just a single, but I would guess it should do ok, I would also guess your still going to need some decent airflow..

i found a pair for 80mm 84cfm fans, that should do the trick no?

Should be fine thats rated higher then the SFII, get a controller though, could just turn the SFII's down enough to make them tolerable, and still maintain ok temps. Idle, surfing etc was no problem, just hevy loads, gaming, etc...





And an ON TOPIC comment: Just put together for a friend MCW462UH on a K8NPro 3000+ just flipped the retension bracket and bolted it down, worked like a charm...
