Asus Maximus Cooler Compatibility...

Need a cooler so I can order my new PC; I know that the board does not support the Noctua U12F in the horizontal position.

So basically what will fit and do a good job of cooling the q6600 and be quiet?

Wanna order tomorrow so fast responses please; Thanks!

Anyone got a pic of the tuniq fitted to the maximus? Just wondering how much space there is between the cooler and the RAM slots. I'd like to use some OCZ ReaperX with this set up but space will be tight.
