Will a Zalman VGA heatpipe fit in the IS7/IC7 with new revision NB fan?

It looks like it may be tight since the newer bigger abit NB fan looks pretty close to the video card. I"m thinking about getting a Zalman heat pipe to quiet down my case

It fits on the max3 so I assume it will fit.

Click to expand...

does it touch the NB fan? I saw a picture over on the HardForum and they touched ever so slightly...I'm wondering if this is a problem because of heat transfer to the NB

It doesn't touch at all, I had it on my 9800 Pro and newer IC7 board. It gets close, but has room.
