here is the northbridge cooler i want in a person's case:

can my video card work in the second pci-e 16x slot so i have room for the northbridge cooler if that ends up being what i have to do?

Can you move both your PCI cards up 1 slot?

i'm not sure its necessary. do you mean move the pci cards down one slot?

horray for imageshack loading at dialup speeds....
usualy when you put the video card in the second slot it only runs at half (8x) speed. im not sure if this is true for that motherboard but its something to look into.

ive typed all of this before your second picture loaded half way so i dont know what heatsink you want

Hey looking at your graphics card and the space you need, i think the monoprice NB cooler (thats my rig in the pic ) would not fit very well and would probably cause your gfx card to heat up. Look into this cooler, its supposed to be one of the best. Its shaped like an L so it wont interfere with SLI setups and such. Although, if you think the monoprice one will fit, than go ahead get it - mostly copper = better cooling.

yeah its yours

thanks haadij404 . i think thats what i'll get
