Looking for suggestions for an air CPU cooler that will fit the following parts, tried a couple of the self contained water cooler units (Intel & Corsair) and have found them to be noisy (water pump) and overpriced.
No competitor links. Thank you.
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe Mini ITX
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7970
Case: BitFenix Prodigy
The P8Z77-I has the raised daughter board and the Corsair Vengeance has the high profile heat spreaders. One option would be to replace the memory with something low profile, would still have the problem of the raised daughter board though.
Anyone know if the following CPU coolers will fit the P8Z77-I Deluxe with the parts I have?
Phanteks PH-TC12DX_BL
Xigmatek Dark Knight Night Hawk
Rather like the Xigmatek and I think it'll fit even with the Corsair Vengeance memory.
Video here of the Dark Knight running on a P8Z77-I but still not sure it'll fit with the Corsair Vengeance memory.
Any suggestions on an air cooler would be appreciated.
