Question BIG Shuriken, will it fit?

I currently have a Sapphire IPC-am3dd785g motherboard which is cooled by a dreadingly loud AM3 stock cooler. According to this review:
AMD Based Nettop Is Real: Athlon II X2 250u CPU and Sapphire IPC-AM3DD785G Mainboard Review. Page 3 - X-bit labs
the normal Shuriken barely fits (its heatpipes are touching the (normal-height) RAM.

I am currently looking for a good cooler to put on this board inside a Silverstone SG05 (which has a max of 82mm for a CPU cooler) and found the BIG Shuriken to be a very good performer in numerous tests on the net.

Now before I go out and buy myself a BIG Shuriken, I want to know if it will fit if the normal Shuriken only barely fits?

EDIT: I found this thread
Big Shuriken dimensions
but the pic by sumo is unavailable unfortunately. Maybe someone can provide a mirror?

Given the lack of response, I decided to buy one. And it fits Just make sure you put the RAM in BEFORE the cooler...
