Which cooler will fit?

Hi,

Does anybody know what good fan will fit on the Abit Fatality F-I90HD Micro ATX motherboard as i have tried the Arctic Cooler 7 Pro and that wont due to the onboard graphics cooler on the motherboard being in the way!
Dont want to spend silly money but would spend £30ish if i had to.

That looks humungous? , have you personally seen it fit or just thought it may fit?

Bet the OCZ Vendeta would fit, not that i defo know , but the main body of the cooler do sit a bit higher off the board than a Freezer7.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...tta CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/LGA775)

Done a bit of Googling and from these pics it looks like the Zalman 9500/9700 would fit.

think this is the Zalman 7500 or 8700

Zalman 8000

Seen this on the web, which looks like the freezer 7 DOES fit. The only thing is i was trying to get it to fit with the fan facing the ram (which i thought was the right way).

Is this the right way or is this person just doing it that way just to get it to fit?

Can fit it either way round.

One blows air out through the back of the case, the other blows air out through the PSU.

Bllody hell. Ive just taken it back and bought a cheaper akasa that will definitely fit but just read a review on it and it says it runs hotter than the stock intel cooler and should only be bought if space is an issue!, which isnt in my case.

AAAAAGH , i'll have to take it back to overclockers and get a refund then buy the freezer 7 again.
