Hi - I need some input, I've read several pages of this thread.

I plan on using this board with a Bitfenix Prodigy case, and 460 graphics card.

I have an Antec Kuhler 620 i bought on sale before, could I use it with this setup? I read somewhere that some plate needs to be modified, i hope its not complex , can anyone guide me to pictures or thread what needs to be modified.

Otherwise i'll just stick with stock cooler since i dont' overclock.

I just want small form factor for my powerhouse PC. I plan on installing a i5 or i7 k processor.

Thanks!

I have that exact same setup. Yes you do need to modify it, but all I did was cut off a corner on the back plate and file down the pads that touch the chips on back. took me all of 10 min if that. You will be ok. PM me if you need help. I cant post pictures cause I dont feel like dismantling my rig. lol

personally I wouldn't use any WLAN for gaming
even dual band made for gaming
I would be surprise if you even get 2 bars of signal @ 50m

I would have to agree. The WiFi is pretty decent for gaming if I'm 10-15m away but it's pretty shoddy past 25+. Could just be my router though.

I was tossing this idea around myself. Ended up buying a usb sound card for the time being. The cost was too prohibative to experiment for my right now.

My first pc-build since years. As soon as i had seen the bitfenix prodigy case on the internet i began to wish one for myself. :-)

Please add me to Owners List on ASROCK z77 itx AND Bitfenix Prodigy :-)

After weeks i decided to change the intel stock cooler into a bigger headsinker that has more cappacity.
The Asrock z77-ITX Board is not the best board for this plan. I didnt want to have a watercooling solution because im scared of leaks.
So i choosed the Loki 92mm Cooler from Xigmatek because it fits with his widh perfectly (0,5cm) to the Pci Slot. Its not blocking the Pci Port
2 Case Coolers In and Out - 2 Cpu Coolers In and Out.

Here the Specs:

Bitfenix Prodigy - Artic White
Bitfenix Prodigy - Black Mesh Front with red Edge
Bitfenix Prodigy - Left Panel with Window
DEMCiflex 225mm Round Dustprotection - Magnetic
Bitfenix Spectre Pro All White 230mm - Front
BeQuite Silent Wings 2 140mm - Back

Asrock z77 - ITX (WLAN OFF)
Intel i7 3770 K 3,5 Ghz @ 4,0 Ghz with Default Asrock 4Ghz Profile
Xigmatek Loki SD963 CPU Cooler with
2x Artic F9 PWM 92mm Cooler
2x 8GB Kingston Hyper-X 1600 Blue Edition

SanDisk 120GB Extreme SSD
SanDisk 256GB Ultra Plus SSD
Seagate 2TB 7200rpm HDD
Pioneer BD-XL Drive

Gigabyte GTX 670 2GB Windforce 3x

Thermaltake 630Watt Berlin Edt.

A few Cables (PCI-E Extensions, SATA 4x Extension and 2 Stripes of RGB LED with remote)
