I'm looking for a passive RD580 northbridge cooler for my DFI board. It has the push-pin style mounting method. The problem is, it's a really tight fit because DFI put it right between the PCI-E slots and the back of the Accelero X2 on my HIS card is really close to it. Here's a picture to show you what I mean:
Will the passive Zalman coolers possibly fit? I don't care if I need to cut off a fin or two, that's no problem. And yes, that's not the stock cooler, but it's still too loud for my tastes, especailly since I had to up the NB voltage a bit.
