EPoX EP-9NPA+ power connector placement?

[imported_meatball]

One user review of this mobo said that because of the proximity of the power connector to the CPU socket, the power cable will rub up against any large heatsink that extends beyond the socket or has exposed fins. This would seem to rule out the XP-120 even though it is supposedly compatible.

Anyone?

I can tell you that I use the XP-90C and have no issues with fit/clearance. I cannot speak for the XP-120, but I the XP-90C is the more effective heatsink anyway.
