So, I decided to change my CPU cooler (so much noise), a friend recommended me the EVGA ACX.

Today, the CPU cooler finally arrived in my home, but looks like it doesn't fit in my motherboard Asus Crosshair V Formula Z.

I mean, theres almost no space there, and the brackets thing is horizontal, not vertical.

Specs:
- MB: Asus Crosshair V Formula Z.
- CPU: Fx8350.
- CPU Cooler: EVGA ACX

The pcpartpicker website says that is compatible: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/cpu-cooler/?compatible_with=M9g323

So, is not compatible?

Looks like the only way to install this CPU cooler is on 90º degree, I mean, with the cooler to the top (or bottom). But there is no way to do that because there is no space in this MB.
