When installing the Zalman CNPS9700 LED CPU Cooler on the EVGA 680i motherboard, does the capacitors or anything else on this board get in the way of this cpu cooler? I have heard about this. Has anyone here had this problem or issue come up? Also, if it is a problem, would getting the slightly smaller 9500 solve the problem? I will be getting one of these coolers soon, but need to know which one to get. Thanks.

Thanks Cretan for that link. I read it and i realize i will either have to mod the case if i get the Zalman cooler, or check to see if there is another cooler out there for the EVGA 680i that will fit without having to mod it. :cry: I will also call the local computer store and ask them what i should do.

Well i went to Fry`s and saw the 9700 and the 9500. I ended up buying the 9500, since the 9700 looked so huge. I haven`t installed it yet, but hopefully not too much modding will be needed. :)
