Hi guys,
I'm buying a Havok 140, and I have a question about how I should put the cooler on the processor, because its gonna stay really close to the vga's back.
Is there any problem if I put the Havok 140, on the horizontal, pulling the air through he cooler and pushing on the top of the case where I have two 14mm coolers.
As the cooler it's not supposed to push the hot air on the VGA, can I use like as I tried to describe?

Push on the VGA, and Pulling outside the case.

Does your mother board support two 16 bit lanes or just one. If so move your graphics card down one slot. If not see if you can rotate your heatsink 90 degrees so that it is blowing out the back of your case. I agree with OhYouKnow that it is not a big deal especially if you are not over clocking. You might turn your fans around so it is not blowing heat on your graphics card but that will suck heat from it so 6 or 1/2 dozen to another.

1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)
(The PCIEX16 slot conforms to PCI Express 3.0 standard.)
* For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot.
* The PCI Express x16 slot supports up to PCI Express 2.0 standard when an Intel 32nm (Sandy Bridge) CPU is installed.
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4)
(The PCIEX4 slot conforms to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)

I don't get it, the second slot, is it x4 or x16?

So here it is the space I have to put the Havik 140.

Just calculated the space and it's about 170mm, from the VGA to the top.
Will it be fine?
