Lian 2100 case with ThermalRight Heatsinks

Anyone running the Lian 2100 case with any wide Thermalright heatsinks like the SI-120? The CPU/Video card aluminum heat divider will not work unless I go with the stock AMD heatsink in this Lian case....or a smaller one. I didn't use the heat divider in the case with my 7800gts and I think it suffered a heat stroke as a result. This case is designed so that the CPU heat rises onto the video card from below so really needs the heat divider/tunnel I believe.

Should I just get Silverstone CPU Tunnel plastic tube and somehow modify it to work? I'd really like to use my Thermalright SI-120 heatsink as it works pretty well.

I also plan to order a side case fan for the top of the video card department.

I will have to cut out the side panel of the Lian 2100 to get to work.
 
I was able to get the CPU aluminum tunnel to work by reversing the fan on the CPU and now have the fan pulling instead of pushing air on the cpu. Lowered case temps a few degrees.....however now the system is way noisier. Guess you can't have it cool without it being louder. Swtethan I like Cooler Guys for their Lian accessories and will order the top side fan from them.
