hey guys,
As above, Im getting quite tempted to move to a Prodigy.
Currently runnign a 3570K on a Gigabyte Z77 UD3H.
I've not actually had to overclock it or anything yet, does everything I ask of it acceptably :)

Things I need: RAID controller (3 disc array for games) pref the same as current board so I don't have to redo.
USB 3.0
PCIE3
 
I have the mobo Stulid has pointed out and the plugs are in good positions for the Prodigy - Very easy to keep it nice and neat.

Have a look for my HTPC build in the small form factor area and you can see the board in the case.

Not much room for a cooler though unless you go CL/water. I have has to mount my cooler sideways to fit it in but mine is a HTPC so notstressing the components and temps stay nice and cool.
 
Had a poke around in case central, some of the guys there are suggesting I may need Asus if I want to fit my Noctua NHD-14.

the Asus ones don't seem as wallet friendly as the GB ones unfotunatley.

I've done an install with the NH-L12 which is a low profile quiet cooler on the Asus Z77-I Deluxe, still managed to get a 3770K stable at 4.7Ghz 24/7.

Could probably push even further with the NHD-14.

There's plenty of overclocking options on the Asus board, not dissimilar to the ROG range.
