Vantec Auroflow Size???

My Intel stock HSF barely has enough space to be removed, there are many capacitors around the HSF, I was going to buy a Vantec Auroflow but I am not sure if it will Interfear.

Can any one supply me with a size comparison?
I know the Aueroflow's dimentions are 74.5x87.5x60 mm

The way your picture is hotlinked is against the rules, if I were you, I'd remove it. If you have the dimensions, the measure out it out. I know TheKingofPain has the Vantec Aeroflow strapped onto a P4.

Just to let you know, the Aeroflow is a massive heatsink. I have it on my Gigabyte 7N400-Pro2 and I had to bend a capitctor out of the way. It shouldn't pose a problem because it is more or less the same size as the heatsink bracket mount.

Oh, so do you think if it will fit my board?, I would hate to spend $25 on a HSF just to find out that its useless.

What kindof mobo do you have?

See the capacitors on the left and the ATX Molex on the right. Thats what I am afraid of, its a tight squeeze allready.

From my experience the Vantec will fit where the retail Intel cooler does without issue...
