Will Thermaltek Blue Orb fit on my Mobo/Case?

[ctam009]

Hi guys, I am about to buy the parts for my second computer build,

but after reading reviews on TT's blue orb (with comments that it serves as good a weapon, for its size, as a CPU cooler ) I am beginning to doubt whether will it fit ...


The case is TT's Armor MX (a mid-tower )

The Mobo is gigabyte's GA EP45 DS4P

So...will it fit?


Also, I will be using it on a E8400, no overclocking though, will the Blue Orb do sufficient cooling?

Cheers!

It might fit but it would be extremely difficult to install. The surrounding heatsinks would be in the way, as you have to basically get under the cooler fins to screw in the screws.
