I'm downgrading things here, and need to know about TRUE's and Noctuas kind of stuff.


How are top air coolers doing in these?
They hit the dimms? in Vertical or Horizontal ways?

the boards with non-angled Sata ports, are they annoying in the vga space?
And the boards with the 1st slot being pci-ex 16x, do the coolers fit the vga anyway?
