Fitting both 7000Cu & MCX159P into P4C800E- Dlx?

[kgs]

Is it physically possible to fit a Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu CPU cooler & a Swiftech MCX159-P Northbridge cooler together (side by side) into the ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe mobo?

As far as I know the only conflict in my pc is the possible dimensional conflict between these two units themselves, as they are so close, and may come into interference.

Might I be into some bending of Cu fins?



I like the Zalman b/c it seems Thermalright and Swiftech might require some serious fan noise to get my mobo and 2.6C and PC4200 or PC4400 up to a worthy overclock. I assume the Zalman is up to this task, and is quiet.

hey i got the same motherboard and Zalman (CNPS7000A-ALCU) it takes up alot of space in there ,its very close to the Northbridge chip ,its like 1/2 inch away from the zalmans fins .Asus P4C800-E: Board Layout.
i got a side fan blowing in to the case, cooling abit the video and northbridge chip

If you use the Zalman like Barak and I, then you won't need a fan on the Northbridge unless your doing crazy OC'ing, which our boards won't handle very well anyways.
If you think you still need more cooling, get the Zalman case bracket and 92mm fan, which you can then have blowing accross your video card and Northbridge, and even hitting your Ram a bit. Works great!
