ASUS A8N SLI + XP-90?

judging by the pics, the xp-90 should be fine.
the xp-90 will fit on just about everything, it may look big, but the footprint is no larger than any other cooler, the fact it overhangs a good inch makes it look huge, but it's really not that big.
 
As mentioned above,it should fit.Thermalright's list also says the A8N is Okay even with the XP-120 which is actually bigger overall.By looking at the pic,it seems that little heatsink on the mobo is actually closer to the Socket compared to the first DIMM
 
I was worried about fitting the XP-120 (even bigger) on the A8N, but Thermalright says it's OK, and others have done it, so I went ahead and ordered the parts. Everything is here EXCEPT the XP-120 (arrive tmrw), so maybe I'll find out for real tmrw.
 
Well, I'm pretty confident about the actual HS fitting, I'm just scared about the RAM fitting (it is taller than most modules)
 
On my A8N-SLI, I have the XP-90 sort of pointing towards the back of the board. It is not over the DIMMs at all. Since the XP-90 can go on like that or with it hanging over the RAM, I wondered what was the right way when I installed it. From just eyeballing it, it looks like I would have about a quarter inch of clearance between the XP-90 and the DIMMs if I had installed it over the RAM. My DIMMS are the standard size.
