ITXfags, do you have to use a low profile cooler, or can you fit a full-sized cooler in some cases?
I want to change my existing i2500K setup to ITX, you can still get boards off eBay

I have that case and I use a noctua c12p

Depends on the case you nigger. If you use the Prodigy you can use the NH-D14.

noctua lh9i

why don't you do some measuring and then find out what you can fit? people normally do not use a low profile cooler because they want to, they use them out of necessity.

Consider using AIO's for instead of low-profile coolers.
Literally their only use desu

A lot of ITX cases state how tall a cooler they can fit. Do some investigating.

I used the Noctua NH-L9i before, which was very good. I'd imagine that the NH-L9x65 is even better, since it's taller and has more heatpipes. The Noctua NH-D9DL and NH-D9DX i4 are also very good coolers that don't require too much space.

Get a Node 302 or the updated shitty looking version. You can fit fucking noctua coolers in them and they are of the smallest mitx cases out there.
Definitely the best itx cases around, specially considering the price.

Node 304*

Can confirm the GOATness of the 304. I have 3 of them, one HTPC, one soho server, one normal desktop.
They're tall enough to run a hyper 212 and that's really all you need

I wish I could buy one but they are fucking nowhere to be found anymore where I live. Why did noctua discontinue it and replaced it with that shitty looking core 500? It was the perfect case. Had to settle down for the coolermaster elite 130 instead since it's about the same size and form factor, but it doesn't even compare to the 304. Not even close.
