Arctic White Bitfenix Prodigy Build

post #1 of 28

Thread Starter 
My prodigy arrived in the mail yesterday and after a couple of hours later....

Specs:

Case: Bitfenix Prodigy Arctic White
PSU: Corsair AX650
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP 16Gb DDR3
SSD: Corsair Force 3 90Gb
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1Tb
HDD: WD Caviar Green 2Tb
GPU: ASUS GTX670 DCII
Fans: Bitfenix Spectre Pro LED 200mm & 120mm

This case for the most part was really easy to work with. There are definitely a few limitations, however when using this form factor that is to be expected.

A lot of people have said that a fully modular 160mm power supply will not fit. I was able to get my AX650 in there (much to the relief of my bank account) by mounting the bracket to the PSU prior to pushing the power supply in. Then it was a case of forcing it in and tightening the four screws bit by bit to nudge it slowly into place.

Very nice...

Have you done any stress testing? How are temps?



And most importantly... How is the noise???

I'd love more info on temps. I really like the white look, but the black version has extra mesh on the front for air intake.

Thread Starter 
After running a couple very quick tests, here are the temps i'm getting. They are approximately 3 degrees warmer than the Cooler Master CM690 II I was using as a temporary case.

The system has yet to be overclocked. I will be doing that over the next couple of days and I will update the temps. It should only be a mild OC, in the low 4's.

Noise is slightly more than I'm used to, however my two case fans are running at full power until I get my fan controller (Bitfenix Recon).

OC'd to 4.2 GHz. Idles around 40-45C

Any plans of maybe someday adding water cooling? So many other itx cases can be justified for air cooling. Regardless, dat white case is sexy. thumb.gif

I have a Hyper 212 plus, I was wondering if you had any clearance trouble with the cooler backplate.
