Unfortunately not 
I've been so busy since I got back from Uni! I get the case for my birthday, so not too long and hopefully I can have a day spare to build my PC in it and test out this boards OCing ability.
Sorry for the lack of updates and thanks for the interest

As per the others, the fact hat the build is dwarfed by the cooler put a smile on my little face.
I've not looked at m-ITX since my Zotac Z68 board, which I sold, but this from Asus looks a real beast. I'm loving the VRM's mounted on a daughter board. Is that actually fixed into the main board, or does it unclip so it's an optional install? All the pictures I've seen have it already in situe so I'm guessing it's actually mounted.
Not tempted by going down the close loop water cooling route to save some space?
Keep up the great work!

Been away for two weeks, hence the late reply.
The daughter board looks like you could take it off, there is a screw either end and a connector to the motherboard.
Nah I like my Noctua too much to try water cooling, partly why I got this case as it can fit my cooler
Should be getting the case on my birthday,so not long now. Looking forward to testing out OCing on this board, and building a PC in the Prodigy.

Sorry no
I have built my PC so that's a step forward but life seems to be disappearing. I've got some pictures just need to upload them. Will see if I can get a few up later!

same here, would love to see some updates - the prodigy looks like a really nice SFF case. I recently stepped down to mATX and now I hear the call of mITX!

On the lowest setting on my fan controller it was idling at around 32, my room is quite warm though. I'm afraid I really haven't much time with it. Getting married next year so planning for that has taken over slightly!

Should have said when I'm back at uni in a few weeks I should have time to do some proper tests and some overclocking hopefully!

Managed to do a little test today, 20 minutes of prime on my lowest fan setting saw it hit a max of 58C
On the highest fan setting it hit a max of 50 after ~20mins.
Pretty happy with that as its very quiet on low. This is at stock settings.

Thank you!
I don't actually have a dvd drive to test but the tray itself will just about fit even with the front fan on so a dvd drive should fit without that fan. Hope that helps.
