Hello
I've recently built a new mini-ITX in a bitfenix Prodigy mini-ITX case with an I3-3220. The motherboard is a MSI B75IA-E33: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/B75IA-E33.html
I'm not happy with the noise level though, so I've decided to get an aftermarket CPU-cooler. However, I'm unsure what coolers will fit in the system, so I was hoping for some help on this matter The RAM is http://www.crucial.com/eu/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU, which is 30 mm tall, so they shouldn't be a problem, or?
I've read a lot of good things about the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO, but it seems to be a rather large heatsink, so I am unsure whether it fill fit? I'm not going to overclock or anything, so my biggest concern is getting a quiet cooling solution (that obviously won't overheat the CPU).
I hope some one has the answer to my questions!
Best regards, Tobias
