Gigabyte Z77N-WIFI Intel Z77 - Advice

£20 is a bit of a tight budget I think, most good ones sorta float around £35 to £60, mind if I ask if it is need of cooler and is it still running stock?
 
Thanks Idle, do you know they fit that motherboard with a GPU?

It will be running at stock, doesn't need a good cooler just one that is quieter than stock cooler, ideally 120mm fan.
 
I've got a Alpenfohn Sella coming tomorrow, Its a tiny little thing, wait for me to tell you what its like.

That is the same size as the Civetta. Would be nice if you could post how much clearance there is between the cooler and Gpu, for future reference.
TIA.

That sound's interesting, thank you.

I believe the Civetta fits without interfering with the Gpu. So you could use the measurements as a template against similar sized coolers.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Alpenföhn Civetta CPU Cooler (Socket 775 / 1155 / 1156 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2) £12.98
Total : £17.98 (includes shipping : £4.16).


Ah thanks, I'll take a better look at the motherboard too see what the clearance is like.
 
I will get some pictures of it up on a ATX and mATX Z77 board, I dont have a ITX sized one, but the thing is so little I'm sure it will fit.

I've got it coming to be able to close the side panel on my case which the Coolermaster 612S wont allow.

That would be great. Just to see it with relation to the socket size would be enough I'm sure.
 
What's that?

A problem with a lack of mounting bits and bobs, some of its there, but no backplate mainly.

Also the mounting parts I do have are somewhat different to what I have seen in pictures of it in reviews and at Alpenfohns homepage.

I can still take a picture of it sat on top of the socket protective cover if you want?

That seems rather odd. A picture might be useful, thank you. Though I am in no big rush if you think you'll be able to get proper mounts for it soon.

The edge of the ruler is lined up with the edge of the socket.
