Want a quiet machine so in an Antec Sonata 3 I would like to use a Scythe Inifinity with the 120mm fan as the HSF.
Board is DS4 from Gigabyte.
The GFx will be a passively cooled 2600XT.

Will they all fit on the board? Tight squeeze/bend some caps or no problems?
 
What makes you think it won't work together or that you'd have to bend any caps? From what I see, everything will work fine. Enjoy the silence!
 
thanks. I just recall reading the space around the socket was type with this chipset especially with the silent cooling of the mobo chipset.
I think squeeze it even further with a passive gfx!

As another aside what is the Arctic Coling Freezer 7 Pro like in terms of silence vs cooling?
tbh I am rather intimidated putting the huge scythe coolers on!
 
The capacitors look all low profile. It looks like it offers clearance on all sides.

Arctic Cooling has always made good quiet coolers. I'd consider them the new age Zalman.
