Is it physically possible to fit a Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu CPU cooler & a Swiftech MCX159-P Northbridge cooler together (side by side) into the ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe mobo?

I bought three Vantec Stealth 80mm 3-pin rpm monitorable fans: to refit my psu fan with 3-wires to the mobo (which is now rpm monitored); replace my 4-pin rear exhaust non-rpm monitored fan (as 4-pin non-rpm monitored); and add a front intake fan (rpm monitored). Stealths are 12V, 21dB, 1.2W, 2050rp...
