Hello i am looking for a low profile cpu cooler. i am running the stock Intel cooler, which for me isn't cutting it. i am also running an i5 3570k and a ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe mini itx in a Bitfenix prodigy. i am a gamer i play many different games, i do a little over clocking on other rigs but haven't attempted to on this build. if you have any suggestion, i'm open to all.

How about a Corsair h100i? It fits in the bitfenix prodigy, has a low profile CPU block, and would allow you to overclock. Any all in one liquid coolers will have a much smaller profile, and much more cooling potential than a low profile cpu air cooler.

Yeah I agree with the guy above. Corsair H100i would be your best bet, assuming its in your budget.

Intel Core i5 2500k @ 4.2GHz | Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600MHz | MSI GTX660 Twin Frozr II OC | Samsung Evo 850 250GB | Seagate Barracuda 3TB | Corsair 600T White | Corsair H100 | Corsair HX850 | Corsair SP120 QE | Asus MX279H | LG Flatron E2251 | Logitech G502 | Das Keyboard Ultimate 4 Browns | Fiio E10 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Corsair SP2500 | HTC One M8 | MacBook Air (Mid 2013) i5 8GB 128GB

Kraken x40 should fit for single rad use. x60 wouldn't though. Barely fit in my full tower case. For dual rad, H100 is a good option.
