Zalman and motherboard capability

[Bugler]

I just joined the forums yesterday and have noticed a bunch of people concerned whether their motherboard is compatible with the Zalman CNPS7000 A/B heat sinks.

Here are the list of Compatible motherboards from the Zalman site.

AMD SOCKET 754, 939, 940

The size of the case also matters even if the m/b does not have any obstructing components. I think case heights below 16.5" do not support the Zalman CNPS7000.

The Antec Sonata has a height of 16.8" which is just sufficient - I think.
