Will Ultra-120 on an EVGA 680i fit in an Antec P182

[jagdpanther]

In a new system I am planning to use an EVGA 680i (122-CK-NF68-A1) motherboard with a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU cooler. The question: will it fit in an Antec P182 case? Because the CPU socket is so close to the edge of the MB on the EVGA 680i, one edge of the Ultra-120 will extend beyond the top edge of the MB. The Antec P182 has a top exhaust fan that might get it the way. (If it extends too far, I could remove the top case fan and place the fan outside the case)

on a related note, will the same setup work using one of Gigabyte's new p35 mobo's?

pls take note, the EVGA 680i placed the CPU socket very near the edge.

most folks with the Zalman 9700 have difficulties if there is not much clearance as in my case.

i own the LianLi PC-1000B and as you can see from my pics, it dont give you much room for a big CPU HSF

hope it helps.

I have an Antec 900 and it fits (BARELY) on an eVGA 680i.
