I will be ordering a DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert (Newegg) and I am wondering what heatsinks will fit or not fit in my Lian Li PC1000B case? Heres a picture of the sideview of my case. Pic. Note, the CPU will be pretty close to the divider.

I'm thinking about getting either an Arctic Cooling 64 or a Zalman 9500 or even a XP-120.

Does anyone know for a fact which heatsinks will or willnot fit in my case with the motherboard I will be getting?

Thanks

I had a AC64 on my system once and went back to my original HS. The AC64 was too noisy and too big. I don't know too much about the other heatsinks but the Zalman looks impressive. Your Lian-Li can handle the Zalman easily.

pkme2: ever thought about controlling the fan speeds on that ACF64P? I heard the Zalman is louder than the ACF64P though. As for your case, you can probably handle a Scythe Ninja Pro with no problem.

I heard that the SNP was the way to go. Thanks, I'll check the SNP out.

Which the Lian Li being a backwards ATX case, will this effect the direction of the fan flow on the AC64 or is it reversible?
