CPU cooler for Asrock z77e-itx

[Gonzalo-Gonads]

I'm planning a new mini-itx build with the following components:

Silverstone Sugo SG05 450w
His 7850
i5-3570k
Asrock z77e-itx

Problem is I'm trying to find a cooler that will fit the mobo. It's a problem since the socket on the board sits so close to the pcie slot that many coolers will block it. So what coolers will fit the mobo and the sugo case? I will be trying to overclock the chip so that will create some more heat.

Thanks

i'm looking at the same mobo and case and was thinking of using the H60. what did you pick?

I got the sg05 but I decided to go for the asus motherboard (p8z77-i) so that I could fit a larger cooler. I got the noctua nh-l12 as a cooler, and it runs ok at the moment with only the 92mm fan (the 120mm won't fit). I oced to 4.4ghz and regular running temperatures are fine @ aroiund 34C but when doing linpack it peaks at 95C. I'm not really that worried about the temps though since it seems stable and when just running wcg 100% on all cores it peaks at 75C. Also bear in mind that going for h60 will mean that you have to sacrifice the HDD cage. I will also warn you that this case is extremely cramped, and you will find it difficult to get everything in. I managed to fit everything in, in the end so it was worth it I also have to say that is a pretty cool case!

I had gotten the sg07 and I know it isn't the same case, I did have the Asrock z77e-itx, 3570K, GTX 680, (2) ssd drives, (1) 1.5tb 3.5" drive. I originall was cooling it with a Corsair H70 but it was pretty tight to squeeze it in there. I have to get rid of the top
case fan. I ended up with a CoolerMaster GeminiII and was pretty happy with how it cooled the chip. Mild overclock to about 4.2-4.3 and temps hovered around 70C.

Just to give you some input even though you already got your stuff....

Which Sugo? Theres loads of them.. SG05, SG06, SG07...etc. Even though you already got your stuff I'll throw the suggestion in anyway, look at a cooler like the CoolIT ECO ALC, its compact, gives lots of general working space and won't block anything off iin a majority of cases. The performance is also really good with a custom fan or two.
