Hello !

I'm going to receive my mini itx gaming computer, but i thnik i've made a mistake, and i'll have to make some tweak to it.

I'll have :
Case : Cooler master Elite 130
CPU : I7 4770K
CPU cooler : Noctua NH-L9i
Motherboard : Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI
Memory : Kit dual Channel DDR3 Crucial Ballistix Sport, 2 x 8 Go, PC3-12800, CAS 9
GPU : Gtx 780 ti Ghz edition gygabyte
Seagate Barracuda, 1 To
Psu : Akasa Venom Power, 750W


Well, i was planning to not overclocking for now and to buy a great aftermarker cooler later, but it seems that in fact, the Noctua NH-L9i is not even enought for the stock clock of the 4770k.

So i was wondering what is the best cooler for this cpu that can fit in this case with a 780 ti inside ?
And if someone had tried the Nh- L9i with a 4770k in this case...


Thanks you for your upcoming answer.
 
Solution
All of the noctua cooler come with a quality metal based thermal paste.
Whoever builds the computer should be using that, and you shouldn't have to replace the paste (little rhyme)

The cooler will be perfectly fine for stock speeds. It wouldn't handle overclocking well though...but overclocking the cpu really doesn't improve the games performance.

A gpu overclock is where you'll boost your fps.

Don't worry man it'll be an awesome stystem

Are you sure ?
Do you think i won't go over the 70/75 C° while gaming ?
