Hello all! I have a asus crosshair III motherboard, AMD phenom 965 cpu and a 5870 video card being shipped to me shortly from newegg. I dont wanna use the stock heatsink for the 965 but i dont wanna spend a fortune either... would a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835185093 fit on the asus crosshair III? Another forum suggested that it may be too large but they wernt sure. If not, could you please give me some suggestions :D thank you!!

That HS is 130 x 100 x 158mm.

I have a Noctua NH-U12P that fits fine on the mobo, its dimensions are: 158 x 126 x 71 mm. If the Noctua fits, then that one will fit, what case do you have?
