Intel P35/X38 Board Layout Cooling Question


Looking at the big standing coolers...Xigmatek 1283, Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, Cooler Master Hyper 212...and our heat sinks, all these confused heat pipe layouts with tall fins and no fans...

Is there a clearance problem?

The Thermalright site lists all sorts of boards where it says the stock Northbridge cooling needs to be removed. In some systems, it is linked to the southbridge with a heat pipe.

Has anyone run into a problem with these coolers and large air cooled heat sync?
