i dont think it will fit because of your passive MOSFET heatsink in the upper left hand side (assuming the mobo is rightside up)
it says on the very bottom of the webpage "due to the size make sure this will fit on your MOBO ....) so be sure to check that out beyond that i cannot tell if u would have to remove it or not???:confused:

the zalman fan will have a custom backplate so you will have to take out the mobo to fit it
