Asus A7V333 and Alpha PAL8045

[Confusion2]

I'm about to do a major upgrade of my computer and I have been looking on a Asus A7V333-motherboard (mostly because of the vocal POST reporter =)) but I am a bit concerned that a Alpha PAL8045 will fit on it.
Anyone here got any experiences with this combo, or have any ideas if this would work?

Looking at Alpha's site, the PAL8045 is certified to fit on the A7V333. Hope the answer isn't too late.

Where are you getting your A7V333 at? BTW.. I bought the Alpha 8045 before the mobo because I absolutely knew that I wanted to use this heat sink to get a quiet computer that cools well. The problem is picking out a damn mobo though. I like the A7V333 because it's priced about what the KT266a chipsets from Asus are.

I did check the Alpha site and the 8045 is absolutely compatible with the A7V333 according to Alpha.

Since Newegg was sold out, I ordered one from mwave.com yesterday. It was a few dollars more, but worth not having to wait.

I was considering the Asus A7V333, but I've already read some bad things about the board. Not good coming from Asus which is supposed to be really good.

Dang, too late... I ordered a Zalman cnps6000 alcu instead (as I am mostly concerned about the noise and I don't need to overclock). Anyway, I am almost broke, because of this computer upgrade so I was not able to afford the alpha cooler + papst fan anyway.. :/
although if the system will get too hot in silent mode I guess I will have to get the Alpha cooler anyway...

Im buying the mobo at Itbutikken.dk because I live in Scandinavia, and I want to use the postal-service-payment system that we use here.. (it uses the postal service as a trusted part for the payment/product exchange)

What bad have you heard about the mobo? I have heard none (except that it is somewhat expensive), so please, enlighten me =)
