Build Advice Proposed Mini ITX new build

opps double post

 

Yeah also a really nice case. Both the node and the 250D are really nice looking.

I'd go for low profile ram, plus its about a £1 cheaper.

 

I thought the ram I chose was low profile looking at the photos.

 

Not unless you've changed it from the first post? The Vengeance stuff has huge heatsinks. I'd also go for low profile Ram if I were you.

 

Parge is right Vengeance has huge heatsinks on it unless you specifically choose the low profile vengeance stuff, such as: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/8gb-...-14900-(1866)-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-9-10-9-2 (this is an example, not memory I'm recommending)

 

What are you going to cool the CPU with? Full height Vengeance is happy with AIO coolers on ITX, but very few non stock air coolers will play nicely.

 

Does anyone know if a Noctua NH-U12S would fit in a Corsair 250D?

 

I was going to go for stock cooling for now but have looked to make sure I can get an non stock inside if I want to OC later. I'll go for the LP ram for now. Ta everyone.

 

Scan have refurbished Corsair H80s on sale - £38 - amazing deal - I picked one up!

 

That is ridiculously inexpensive!

 

All parts order and arrived, i just need to build it on the weekend. Didn't get a GPU in the end, i will wait till I have built it and can measure the space:
