Anyone have an ASUS P8Z77-M PRO?

I'm about to buy one for a build and was wondering if there are any issues mounting a CPU cooler with a 120mm fan, such as the Scythe Mugen 3 or Noctua NH-U12P? The thing I'm concerned about is clearance between the edge of the heatsink and a GPU mounted in the first PCIe x16 slot.

I used the Noctua NH-D14 - it definitely rubs against my Quadro 2k in the first PCIe slot. I had to basically put the cooler together backwards in order to get it to fit. It's not the fans, but the fan clips that attach to the cooling towers that do it. A few minutes on a good vise along with a generous amount of electrical tape have made things workable. The card definitely wasn't happy in the other slot... On the flip side, getting 4.2GHz @ 26 degrees C out of the 3770k - waiting for a few weeks of normal use to assess the condition of the tape before I go higher. No issues at all.
