I just built a new pc with an I7 6850k, EVGA X99 FTW K motherboard, 64gigs of ram, and various other parts. The problem I am having is that the cpu socked on the EVGA X99 Motherboard seems to not be in the standard position as other motherboards. It seems to be moved down toward the pci slots slightly. I had an NH-D15 Heatsink but it blocks the first PCI X16 slot. However, Noctua made a fix and made the NH-D15S heatsink which address that problem but EVGA moving the socket down offsets NOCTUAS fix with the D15S heatsink. At this point all that seems to work will probably be a 120mm wide heatsink. However, smaller heatsink like that wih 120mm fans do not cool nearly as good as their bigger 130-150mm wide counterparts. The question I have is does anyone know of a heatsink that is 120mm wide, provides great cooling for an oc'd I7 6850k, and wont block the first pci x16 slot on the EVGA X99 FTW K Motherboard. I have been looking into watercooling as an option but I do not have any experience with it and would not want a leak. Any suggestions would be welcomed
