I know I have the P8P67 Deluxe and I had to bend the northbrige heatsink in order for me to fit my RX360 with fans below the support in my Haf X. But what I'd worry about more is the fact that your fans would block the 4 and 8 pin connectors on the top of your motherboard. You would have to run the cables in front of your motherboard to get them to connect. Have you considered getting the EX version of the radiator instead?

The EX should give you the same performance as the RX. But in half the thickness.

Well that is what XSPC have written on their site.

The RX does perform a little better, but if you were able to put 6 fans on an EX you would get better performance than only fitting 3 fans in pull on an RX. But if you want to do some comparisons you can check out how several radiators perform at different RPM's. It's really a balance of how thick you can go, how fast your fans are, and how much heat you want to dissipate.

With the 2000rpm Koolance fans, the EX will be plenty. In fact it should beat the RX, as it actually has more overall surface area according to my math.

But less airflow because of the high fin density. I believe there's been several good tests that show they're within about 2 degrees of each other, either one performing better than the other depending on whether the fan setup is optimized for one rad or the other. 2 degrees is not going to make or break your top overclock or drastically reduce the life of your chip, so get what fits. EX is meant for high RPM fans and that's what you have, so that should make it pretty easy.
