Hi All

I am planning to make a mini atx build using the bitfenix prodigy M case and the new ASUS ROG Maximus VI Impact motherboard.

Having seen a couple of build videos on YouTube I am quite aware of some issues that this case brings with itself. One particular question I would like to ask is, that I am planning to use a haswell i5-4670K CPU that I plan to overclock as much as possible and therefore I would need to know what cooling systems might fit into this configuration. I have seen that with some shorter rams on other motherboards they were able to fit in even Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler , I actually love this cooler but I am not sure that with the motherboard of my choice it will fit.

Any of you has any experience with this particular build - or can you recommend any other coolers that might be easier to fit into this case, using the same motherboard but would still do a great job on an overclocked configuration ?

idk d00d..never build an itx deal..
hyper N520 maybe?
You say you wanna overclock..so i'd say this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835214023&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-CPU+Cooling-_-Enermax-_-35214023

It'll prolly cover your mobo;Hope you don't have tall RAMsinks.
