CM Elite 120 Advanced - Corsair H55 cooler fitting

[Manny]

So I finally replaced the weak stock HSF and fitted a Corsair H55, with some modifications:

That case really needs a transparent side...

hade one, looked like a rats nest inside with all the cables didnt think a aftermarket cooler will ever fit in that case, nice job and by the way can say what you want but it does have better spacing for a bigger gpu than the prodigy. WEH!!!!!

Serious? Damn, I almost considered selling this case to get a Prodigy at one point.
But, I like its compactness and portability to set up in LANs. Air flow is pretty decent too

That case is so not meant for anything remotely high end equipment, good job squeezing all that in.

Not for equipment which heat up too much and need big coolers. Example: GTX 480

I think your are struggling with anything more than a Low Voltage CPU (T models) and anything more than a 6pin GPU.

Nope. The Asus 670 works fine. Use to have an EVGA 680 which also worked fine. Heck, I even had a CM Gold 1000W which was able to fit comfortably
The condition is that the card must not be more than 2-slot. ASRock Z77E itx is brilliant

Edit: Running the ASRock Z77E with i7 3770 (non-k)

I still don't get ITX and high end equipment to be honest, sure I have seen some good work done but in such cluttered space heat is always going to be a problem.
