I wasnt sure if this fit in watercooling or hardware, but since it affect watercooling a good bit here it is.
Here are the new specs from AMD:
http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/athlon/t…s/pdf/23794.pdf
Page 6 of the PDF (page VI of the document) shows the revision history...
"Updated Figure 5, "Motherboard Keepout Area for a Socket A AMD Athlon™ Processor
Heatsink," on page 12, removing the four mounting holes."
page 12 of the document is page 18 of the PDF which shows the diagram referenced above.
There are already few motherboards out that don't have holes MSI K7TPro2A, the Tiger MP/MPX, the A7M266-D etc
once again apologies for not posting in German but my writing skills are poor.
