Another Bit Phoenix Prodigy Question

Adam McDaniel · Aug 26, 2013

Hey guys, been reading these forums for awhile, and I actually got most of my questions already answered. I could use some help in a few questions I have thought while I build my new build.

First off, has anyone used the brand new Asus MAXIMUS VI IMPACT Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard in the Bit Phoenix yet? I assume there is no problems, but I haven't found one review/user talking about using it in the Prodigy.

Secondly, I compared the specs of;

and

I'm not sure why Asus has two of the same cards, was the first one made before the second? Will I notice a huge difference between the two cards? I'm leaning towards the 1st card because of the looks (I want to get a windowed case). I want a quiet card, because I'm already going with the h100i which I read can get loud.

What's it mean when a card "pushs" air out the back...does it actually push air out the PCI Slot? I'm concerned because the case is small, and I don't want to mess with the airflow.

Thanks guys, I'd love the advice. (on a side note, going with the i7, 16gb ram, ssd drives, and haven't picked my PSU yet).

I'd go with the Seasonic ST60F-PS (1st choice) or Corsair CX600-M Both will power anything in that case, are cheap, reliable and are modular

Not sure about the graphics cards...

H100i is only as loud as its fans... get some quiet radiator fans and it will be quiet... take a look at my build i'm putting together now if you'd like any ideas.

I hope I helped a bit!

The first card isn't even in stock on that shop so if you're buying soon may as well get the second one... If you're worried about messing with the airflow then go the 1st gpu but the case is big enough and it will not be a problem. the second will cool better as well. remember unless you're getting a window you'll only see the back of the card which is a clean back on the second. both are great cards obviously so whatever decision you make wont be wrong. Someone else might provide some better insight but that's my 2 cents
