The dimensions of the v8 GTS are on this page: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Cooler-Master-V8..., your main concern will probably be height as it is definitely above average height at 166.5mm. This is mainly due to the 140mm fans plus the space in between the motherboard and bottom of the heatsink. According to this review: http://www.overclockers.com/zalman-z11-plus-case-review the metal cage of the Z11 is approximately 200mm wide. Even if you take into account the motherboard stand-offs, motherboard and mounting parts of the heatsink, you should have more than enough clearance. This is assuming that your motherboard is compatible with the V8 GTS and that it will be able to clear your RAM.


I don't understand the motherboard compatibility thing if you mean socket like 1150 then yes and i have checked and it can fit ram that is below 50mm in height.
