NZXT Havik 140 on AMD Motherboard

Hardware Hub Motherboards
1

OK so I am upgrading from an i7 920 to an FX 8350, right now I have a Noctua NH-U12P SE2 cooler but I cannot find the AMD back plate so I am planning to buy a new cooler and looking at the NZXT Havik 140.

Only problem is that most of the after market coolers I have seen can only be installed in a vertical air flow on AMD board, does anyone know if the Havik 140 can be mounted in a horizontal air flow position so I can exhaust the air out the back of the case?

I have a Cooler Master HAF XM so I know the case has plenty of room for the cooler, thanks everyone

yes, actually, I saw something. it's a little funky, something about using both the brackets. i'll see if I can dig it up

thanks for the link, I have G. Skill Ripjaw RAM, I think they may get in the way, I think maybe I will use the stock cooler and buy the Kraken X60 in about 2 weeks when I have some more money
