Are AMD Socket 462 Coolers compatible with Socket 754 and 940

[Mjello]

I've been looking at some images of the opteron boards.

And it seems likely to me that I would be able to use my old MIST cooler on an Opteron.


Could anyone examine this ??

Speeze now lists their Athlon coolers as socket 370/A/754, so at least for the little Hammer it should work. I don't know if the two differ (the Opteron and AThlon64 mounting mechanisms), but I'd doubt it.
