790i CPU Heatsink Compatibility List

What fits and what doesn't? I couldn't use my Zalman CNPS8000 because of the shear size of the board's MCP sinks. I succumbed to using the Intel Stock HS/F.

What has worked for you? I'll update the list as more options come. This will definitely help those of us looking for a solution.

Fits
Intel Stock
Ultra-120 Extreme

Doesn't Fit
Zalman CNPS8000
