Does anyone know if the new Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-9 nForce4 Ultra motherboard
can have a Thermalright XP-120 installed?, and installed WITH the DPS
daugthercard installed also?

You see the DPS card just above the CPU retention socket, how does the
XP-120 actually mount?, in terms of which direction would it be facing when
installed.

My concern is if it goes like as pictured here in step 9;

Then the fins will be close to the top of the board and not allow the DPS
card to be installed, anyone able to comment?

Also, can you mount the XP-120 in any direction?, does it only fit one way??
