ITX Prodigy

[jesse525]

so I'm in the process of building a rig for my buddy and i was thinking of doing an ITX rig for him in the Bitfenix prodigy, but i'm not sure about how well it cools well running air. Yes, i know it can do water cooling but I'm not the one who's going to be maintaining the system he is so i need to keep it simple.

So has anyone build a rig with the Prodigy does it do a good just at keeping cool on air or should i just do a mid tower for him and have some piece of mind.

thanks

It'll be fine on air, as most cases should be. I would think passive coolers would be a pretty cool and quiet combination, if possible.

That said, there's a very limited market of users that have the case yet, since it released pretty much days ago, so feedback from such users may be slow.

Air cooling will be fine, and something small like the Be Quiet! Shadow Rock top flow would do nicely, looks good and decent temps...

Off topic, but whats the hardware in mind?

i do believe it can fit a h100 so that would be a low maintenance "water" solution

hardware wise is nothing fancy. It's just an I5 -3570 on an ASUS P8Z77-V LE plus, 8 GB Vengeance RAM, a force 3 SSD (120 GB) and a Noctua NH-C12P cooler

In that case, then yup, it'll be absolutely fine
