I made this build to pretty much convert my old system into an m-itx computer.The name of this build came up because my motto during the entire build was, "It's Good Enough". The one clearance that came up was the cooler's fan bracket interfered with the gpu. This made it so that I had to bend the bracket vertically but in the end made it work.

 

Specs:

Intel Core i5 4670k

EVGA m-itx cooler

8gb Kingston HyperX Red

GTX 660

Corsair Force SSD 120gb

Seagate Barracude 2tb

Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI

EVGA Hadron Air w/ built in 500w 80+ Gold PSU

If I was you, I would try anything to make get text on the CPU cooler the right side up.

 

I came up with a way - mount the heatsink other way around and put the fan on pulling air through the cooler.

I already had to change it once and it takes way too much effort to do it again. As i said, "It's good enough"

Nice little PC you got going there

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

Oh, I forgot the Hadron doesn't have a cutout.
