Well I decided to keep the Zalman in the SLI Box, and built a new Gamer using the TRUE120.
The Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, is one Massive Heatsink, in fact I had to Mod my Ultra XBlaster Midtower Case just to get it into the Case. I then had to take a File and Shave some of the Heatpipe Termination Nubs down so I could get the Side Panel back on.
Dang that was one tight fit. I cannot stress the importance of Measuring your Case before attempting this upgrade.
