Just looking at it I'd say the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme if your case is big enough.
I looked at there compatibility list but they haven't tested any XFX boards. But it looks
like the same basic layout as my old EVGA 680i and there was plenty of room.

And you'll need a good 120mm fan if you don't have one already :-)

It will be a close fit. I measured 6-3/8" from my mobo to the top of the heatsink.
But it sounds like a good reason to try a little case modding if necessary :-)
