This is what i have figured out so far, seeing as how the Socket F processors do not ship with a HSF:

There are 2 different sets of mounting holes for Socket F: 3.5" and 4.1".

The 4.1" do not concern me too much, but the 3.5" motherboards are a lot nicer (Tyan) and that so happens to be the same distance betweek mounting holes as Socket 939. Now I have a list of supported coolers from AMD and there is the cooler master HK8 (aka stock Opteron 1xx) and the Thermaltake Venus 7 (another SKT939 Cooler).

What I want to know, is there anyone who knows what more easily obtainable coolers will fit on Socket F, while respecting the Keep Away zones.
