"The ZIF Socket is surrounded by critical connections only allowing for cooling solutions that meet the required spec as anything bigger would block or crossover these other areas making assembly next to impossible."

Anyone installed a custom heatsink on one of these boards and have the skinny on what works best?

Anyone try putting a mobile chip and custom heatsink in one?

Any other user comments, etc. about this board?

The Opteron Heatsink and Thermaltake fan set-up I have I bought specifically for this board. The only problem? The A64 chips will never get hot enough to need it unless you plan on a MASSIVE overclock. The heatsink I have was meant for PASSIVE cooling! LOL! The mounting bolts are even spring-loaded! LOL!

i think best one at the moment is the zalman 7000a-cu. its quiet, not the extreme cooler but you dont need extreme cooling on a64's since u cant overclock much with them. and they are not as hot as presshots.
