    DS3R TRUE 120 what can you put in the chipset?

    I have this board and a true 120 and i was wondering what i can put in the chipset?
    will a hr-05 sli fit of just and hr-05 with a TRUE?
    the TRUE is pointing with the fan facing the front/back of the case not the top/bottom

    just wondering if anyone has changed the chipset cooler on this board and if they have run into space issues with the gfx card or the TRUE

    Cheers for the help

    From looking at pictures, it doesnt look like you can get anything on the north bridge if you have the TRUE positioned vertically like that. If you put it horizonal with a fan on the top, you could get an HR-05 in there, me thinks.

    yeh thats what i was thinking, but i dont really want to turn the TRUE around as it will just be blowing at the bottom of my psu and it doesnt have a 120mm fan at the bottom like most other psu's its got and 80mm at the back.

    Thanks

    I'd try either the Tt Extreme Spirit II or an HR-05 SLI might fit.

    I have hr-05 sli/ifx over nb and sb. It is very tight between nb and video card. See pics. Nice thermalright landscape.
