Is anyone here using a TRUE120 with an HR-05 Northbridge heatsink? I'm curious if they can both fit on a board. There appears to be a couple variants on the HR-05, one of which has the fins offset from the block a bit to where they would be further south and away from the CPU.

Any input would be appreciated.
 
I'm also curious about this as I plan to equip a DS3L with both of your choices plus an HR-03 GT on my video card.

Heh yeah. I was thinking the SLI model of the HR-05, have the fins pointed south, TRUE120 mounted parallel with the back of the mobo, and then have my video card with HR-03 GT pointed south in a lower PCIe x16 slot rather than the top one.

Not sure if it'll work, though.
 
I had a TRUE120 exhausting towards the rear of the caseand the HR-05 SLI setup on my old GA-965P-DS3, which as far as I know is a very simliar, if not the same setup as the GA-P35-DS3L; and it was a close fit and tough to get the fans in there after setting up the heatsinks, but if you have patience it is possible. I'm sure other motherboards might have slightly different layouts, but most P35 boards should be alright.
