hi all,
i am new here. but surfing at tom's HW for info and reviews quite some time.
i am from malaysia. and i wana build MATX system PC. for Lan party mostly,
concern about when traveling vibration issue that will affect the CPU cooler.
here is my build.

casing bit fenix prodiy M.

intel processer core i5 4670K

mobo asus gryphon z87 with armor kid
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131977

CPU cooler. price range will be maximum $90
haven't decide yet. but noctua d14 is my best choice since got so many good reviews.
but the problem is. i carry the rig often,travel by car. i scare the weight of the heatsink will damage the Mobo when come in time. because giant heatsink weight so heavy. noctua d14 weight more then 1kg.
if go for AIO water cooler scare leak problem. cause by shaking alot while travel.

memory 4x2 planing to get Gskill. but dono which to get. ares or ripjaw. since both price mostly the same. need to consider with the cpu cooler.

GPU waiting for AMD R9 270X.
mean time will using the build in graphic which the gryphon z87 support.

SSD 128gb any recommend? price stay below $130

PSU, any recommend??

greatly thanks to all who can give me the opinion. thanks alot!!

If you lay your system on its side so the heatsink is siting on the board and not hanging of the board it should be ok.

As for the All in ones. I think leaks are rather rare(This is not say it is not possible).

Here is the extra plate I was talking about that "may" interfere with heatsinks(This is a new case, so not to many reviews of it yet).

When you add the side plate that can be used to hold drives, the NH D14 may be too tall(hard to tell, that case does seem quite wide).

It is a great cooler, but will eat lots of space in the case and may make video card removal difficult.

I think the all in one's may be a good option if you move the system allot, but the NH-D14's bracket is quite solid and should not damage the board.
