Default Fitting an SLK800+Aero fan on an A7N8X mobo
Someone I know who has just installed an Asus A7N8X mobo and a Coolermaster Heatpipe, warned me that the orientation of the CPU on the board, made it a very tight squeeze to fit the hsf properly.

I am planning on the same mobo, but I want to fit a Thermalright SLK800 (with one of the new Aero fan units on top!!).

In other words, an all-together bigger hsf...Does anyone have any idea if I'm likely to have any problems doing this?

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer about it? Sometimes they also have a list on their site of supported boards.
