So I bought all the parts for a new system, but there is one little problem.
I have MSI P35 Platinum motherboard and a GeForce 8800 GTS, and the southbridge heatsink prevents proper installation of an 8800 GTS, because it gets in the way of the video card's heatsink. Here's a
picture from a hardwaresecrets.com
article, since I don't have pic of it myself just yet.
One solution to the problem is to install the 8800 GTS on the second PCI-e slot, but that renders the two PCI slots unusable, and I need those PCI slots.
Another solution would be to install an aftermarket cooler on the 8800 GTS, one that doesn't conflict with the southbridge heatsink. There's only one such cooler I'm aware of, the Thermalright HR-03 Plus. If there are any other coolers for the 8800 serie, I'd be very much obliged to have such info disclosed to me.
What would you advise me to do in this situation?
