    Yeah, the SB cooler you chose is perfect really.
    The IFX does actually get a tad close to the edge of my RAM so I'm not sure of the results with your OCZ XTC cooler.
    IFX will not fit with a vertically mounted TRUE.

    I'm not entirely sure how much room the SLI heatsink leaves, but (speculating here) I think the SLI can be mounted horizontally with the fins of the heatsink poking out to the right side of a vertically mounted TRUE, basically saving you the requirement of using active cooling on the NB.
    Whether or not the SLI actually touches the RAM is another question altogether though.
    I'm in Sweden at the moment, so I can't test it out, but when I get back to London on the 1st of Jan, I will be sure to post a picture of my setup after some more experimentation
