Looking at buying a Zero Infinity Shiva CPU cooler as specs look pretty impressive and it is a nice looking cooler, i was wondering if anyone knows if itl fit on a Bitfenix Prodigy case with MSI Z87i GAMING AC mini-ITX Motherboard,MSI GTX 760 Gaming ITX 2GB and Avexir Core series RAM?
Will Zero Infinity Shiva Fit?

Hi there!
Just looking at the dimensions for that cooler, along with those of the motherboard and graphics card I think you may find it incredibly cramped. Not only that but the Shiva just isn't a great cooler, especially in a close quarters case. It is more for people who just don't want to use a stock cooler, or just want something for the looks.
So if that is the case and you don't plan on any overclocking of either the card or the CPU, then this should be OK(ish) but for anything else I'd consider something a little more well known and efficient. Personally I would go with the CM Hyper 212 EVO which should fit nicely with all your other components and with more room for airflow around everything

Hi again!
The Noctua NH-U9DX isn't for that socket and doesn't come with a mounting kit to make it fit. Also, Scan do sell the Coolermaster unit, its just that their website is crap and poorly designed http://www.scan.co.uk/products/cooler-master-hyper-212-evo-4-heat-pipes-direct-contact-with-120mm-quiet-fan-lga775-1155-1156-1366-a have at it my friend
And, in my honest opinion, shop elsewhere because that website is just so terrible I don't think I ever want to see it again.TRENDING THREADS
