Hi

I've read from a few people, that you'll have a space problem with the Z87n-wifi(mini-itx) from gigabyte, if you want to install a decent CPU-cooler and a regular GPU.

I have the following build->
Intel i7-4470k
Gigabyte Z87n-wifi
Noctua nh-l9i cpu-cooler
Geforce 670GTX

Does anyone have a similar build, that can confirm/unconfirm, that i'll have problem with my build? Please help me, i really have my doubts :).

I have a similar setup, with a Gigabyte GA H87N WIFI board, Intel i7-4771 CPU, and Titan DC-155A915Z/RPW cooler. I do not have a discrete graphics card installed. Instead, my PCIe slot is occupied with a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 TV tuner card. So, the clearance situation for my CPU cooler is similar to yours. You have a very good CPU cooler, and it is similar in size to mine. I probably should have bought the same CPU cooler as you did, but mine is working OK. Our CPU coolers are about the same size. I have no clearance problems. I don't know what the implications might be with your graphics card instead of my TV tuner card, but I believe you will have room for your Noctua CPU cooler.

Hmmm yea thanks, i'll look into the size of your TV tuner.

Does anyone else have the gigabyte motherboard with a regular size GPU?
