Lian Li V1100 plus & Accelero query

Hello, just curious if the blower fan on the V1100 plus (it's situated over the PCI slots at the top of the case) interferes with the Accelero coolers by Arctic Cooling? I have one fitted to my Geforce 6800GS currently, and don't want to have to remove it.

The Accelero does protrude a bit you see, that's why I want to know if there's enough of a gap to not cause any problems. Anyone know? Thanks

Thanks for the response. The cooler protrudes by about 4 centimetres from the card (nearly 1.5 inches). This is at the cooler's 'highest' point, the link below should give you an idea of what I mean (Accelero vs stock pictures):

Personally I think it will be a problem, but can't be sure. On a different note, any idea which version of the v1100 OcUK stocks? The latest version of the case (PlusII) has a regular fan over the PCI slots, as opposed to the blower fan on the Plus.

Thanks for taking the time to check, it's appreciated.

Ah ok, thanks. So I take it you've reversed the fan on the rear of the case so it blows outwards? Wasn't sure if the dust mesh on the back would restrict the outgoing airflow doing that. Anyway, thanks for your time

It's ok thanks, more or less found out what I needed to know

I should have gone for a Zalman heatsink originally huh... hehe. Cheers for your time.
