You will need the SLI version. I had both and only the SLI would fit and it will have to be at an angle because of the capacitors at the bottom.

and is it possible to bend heatpies from non sli version so that it fit
It's possible but odds are damage will be done to the fins during the process. You need to bend it enough to clear the fan wire clips.
Now the IFX sli is a good idea and like what greg said it has to be offside thanks to capacitors. Unfortunate if you offset it towards right-down, your ram heat sinks will most likely be in the way unless you put them into slot 2-4.

Tried that also and ruined the non-sli version. I broke the heat pipe trying to get an offset like the XIGMATEK PTR-N881
The Xigmatek would probably be very close, but can't say for sure if it would fit or not.
