Locutus Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I don't think you are going to find any ITX chassis supporting a h100. Really you have limits in a ITX setup but it's true nothing is more portable. As for fractal design case, if the quality is the same as the ARC i've reviewed it will be good. I cannot for sure though. edit: the HAF 915F/R is posted on the front page. The HAF isn't really meant to be portable (they originals weigh a ton) I believe you can fit an H100i into the Prodigy, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 the the HAF 915 is an ITX chassis and very light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prunes Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Like Ed wrote, there's is no need for the h100i. I'm using a i5 2500k, and have yet to be limited in games because of the CPU. It's overclocked to a modest 4.3 GHz without much voltage tweaking. Going with an i7, it might run hotter, when using HT. Therefore, get an i5 and maybe a h60 or if you want an h80i. The h80i should be plenty for modest overclocks. It's not a rig made to run prime95 or OCCT 24/7, so you will never get super high temps with the h80i and a modest/decent OC.

The Node 304 is an amazing case, very well designed but will be limited to a 120/140mm solution. Might also want to consider some mATX solutions. The N200, Arc Mini and the Sugo series from Silverstone, SG08/SG09/SG10 are all great cases and Silverstone actually makes a travel back for them.

I guess ill have to pick between the prodigy and the node then, dang. mATX seems a bit big for me. Like Ed wrote, there's is no need for the h100i.

I'll try to reason with him that the h80i on his i7 should be fine and dandy. Unfortunately, he has more money to burn than i do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteroduck Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Any recommendations for a good 850w PSU? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 seasonic is my favorite brand, Everyone else is hit or miss per series/unit. I dont have to second guess a seasonic but they do cost more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteroduck Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 seasonic is my favorite brand, Everyone else is hit or miss per series/unit. I dont have to second guess a seasonic but they do cost more. They are pricey as hell. I'd use a pc p&c but its too much. Plus they tend to be big and they dont come in 850w :< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braegnok Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 SeaSonic X Series,..X-850 full modular is a vary solid power supply. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151102 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pteroduck Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 corsair 350d vs prodigy vs arc mini? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locutus Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Well the Prodigy will be easier to tote around, but they all are very similarly priced. The white Prodigy can actually be had at Newegg for $60 right now, but the promo ends today http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811345017 The Arc Mini is another good choice especially if you plan on modding it. If you want to have a case that you wouldn't do much modding to I'd probably stick to the prodigy, it's only $10 more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
