CPU cooling system for bitfenix prodigy

flipy · May 16, 2014

I've got a rig with a 4770K, a z87i-pro and a g.skill ram.
I'm concerned about the current cpu cooling solution (bundled with the intel processor).
As I will try to OC, what should I get?
Does a DH14 or an Evo 212 will fit with the g.skill ram?
Seeing that H80i or H100i are in a similar price range as the DH14, does it makes sense to invest in water cooling?

Thanks!

Hi flipy
need to know what your case is to see max cpu cooler height and weather you can fit radiator for H100i also what gskill ? low profile or high heatsink like ripjaws x
edit. sorry prodigy , will check

according to this site
http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/bitfenix_prodigy_review,8.html
the max cpu height for coolers is is approximately 180/190mm of clearance , allowing for most coolers,
The NHD14 stands 160mm tall and will fit , the h100i will also fit.
The only thing to be aware of with the nhd14 is it is a large twin tower heatsink and if you have high profile ram with large heatsinks like ripjawsx it may interfere with your ram, with the 100i you will not have this issue , as far as best performance this may help

Edit : and yes aio ( all in one ) water cooling makes sense and is fine to use ,as is air cooling it comes down to
your own personal preference

All the coolers mentioned will work fine with G.Skill memory modules. Those are basically the most popular and best CPU coolers on the market.

Thank you
