MSI Pro-E will Hr-05 Chipset coolers fit?

[ATWindsor]

I get crazy high IOH temps on my MSI Pro-E board, we are talking 110 C+ when the machine is fully loaded (no overclocking). I am thinking about adding a HR05-IFX an HR05-SLI cooler for the Northbridge and southbridge.

So my question is, will the HR05-IFX fit this board? I have a Prolima Megahalems CPU-cooler, so i am worried about clearance to this cooler, and also about clerance to the topmost PCIe1x slot. Any help on this matter would be most welcome, even if you know only part of the answer, or are doing som speculation

How do you have such high temperatures? During non-gaming my NB is at 67C and when I game it's at 73C. What case are you using?

I have the HR05 IFX on an MSI X58M board. Cooler is Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer. If you compare dimensions of the megahalems and the CCF you should be able to tell.

It fits fine in my case.

I don't know how, its just the way it is It must be said that this is worst case, if i spin my CPU-fan more (usually iys at 600 rpm), and the room is less hot, the idle tempe is around 80. I have an antec p180.

Thanks a lot, does it clear the cooler with a good margin, or just a minimal clearance? And the cooler doesn't obstruct the topmost PCIe1x-slot either?
