New i7 rig....

Cheers bud, one PITA was the Zalman cooler mount screw on the back of the GTX. The back of the GTX's PCB is not that far away from the lower edge of the NB heatsink...sorted it tho, used smaller screws on cooler (thankfully supplied with the Zalman GTX cooler for this very type of situation.)

Fitting the GENE II was a dream and much easier than working with a Tuniq Tower in the mix, that thing is huge and really limits room for movement when installing kit.

The gap between the RAM and the edge of the TRUE120 fan is about 5 mm, so should also do a nice job of pulling air across the Viper HS.

Just tried the CPU PowerUp function on the board so running the i7 920 @ 3.2Ghz, aint had time to tinker yet...

Webbo, any chance you can whack up some settings for the GENE in this thread mate? I wanna give 4Ghz a bash and need some help getting there ;)
 
Here are a couple of pics which show how close the RAM is to the TRUE120's fan:
