Just one question,

im thnking of getting a DFI Infinity RS482 motherboard or the Asus A8N-VM CSM (recommened anything else?). i know its 2 different chipsets but ill read more about the 2. Right now liking the A8N-VM CSM. anyways, i saw a review were it showed a picture of a CPU stock AMD HSF very close to the northbridge.. i was thinking of getting zalman cnps7700CU for the 3500+ i have and a VF700cu for the X850XTPE that i will be putting into the SFF. my question is, will those 2 aftermarket HSF have any clearance issues? im actually more concerned about the CPU CNPS7700CU.. since its soo close to the NB it might not fit?

I found a picture of a DFI Infinity RS482 with a zalman but im not sure if its the CNPS7000cu or the CNPS7700
