Motherboard N68-VS3-FX and Tower Heatsinks

[MannyGT]

Hi to all.
I'm planning to buy a "Tower Heatsink" for my AMD FX6300 mounted on Motherboard N68-VS3-FX.
I read many positive feedbacks about Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.
However I'm not pretty sure about the position of 24pin power socket on the motherboard because I think it's too near to the CPU socket and this may cause troubles when mounting the heatsink. Please, see the picture below:

Anyone have successfully mounted a Hyper212 EVO on a N68-VS3-FX motherboard?

Thank you.

Wow, never seen a layout like that. Some more compact options that might be worth looking in to ; CRYORIG h7 (it advertises no RAM interference bit you might need to orient it differently) and CRYORIG M9a. The fan is smaller and a bit louder but cooling performance should be good enough and it might be a better fit.

Thanks for the ninja reply. I have just see images over Google: They doesn't look the same size of Hyper 212? :-/

The CRYORIG H7 is 145MM tall, so a few MM shorter than the hyper. It also has a laid-back design that gives good RAM clearance on the typical board, but I'm skeptical with that one. http://proclockers.com/sites/default/files/Cryorig%20H7%20(25).JPG

The M9a is around 120mm tall and uses an 80mm fan, so it's notably shorter, won't perform AS well, but will fit better. To be on the safe side that would be my first choice. http://techreport.com/news/29052/cryorig-m9-is-a-mini-tower-cooler-for-many-cases

Thank you. I saw the picture of Cryorig M9 mounted. I used memory sockets for reference and yes, I think I can mount the heatsink.
