in this pic you can see that the big setup is cooling the cpu.

what is confusing you is the regular loop for the i7-2-go.

i pulled the regular loop to the side.

Tut tut... Intel Stock cooler :)

But yea, very nice setup. Although I'm not a fan of the 'fixed' radiator. I like to easily move my hardware :). Made me want to get watercooling on my next rig anyway.

So when you take that comp somewhere will you have to down clock it, or it still going to be fien without the monster rad on it?

an update...

got the pa120.1 mounted up for test fitting.

im still going to paint it like the pa120.2 i have up top.

im waiting on barbs for the pa120.1 from PTS. im also waiting on a new res which i'll talk more about later.

i relocated the HDD to a much easier location that i think makes it look cleaner and is easier to route cabling. im planning on trimming 5.25" bay acrylic a bit to open the case up a bit more.

EDIT: oh yeah... i added the 92mm fan in the back to help better the airflow around the NB/VRMs.

True, I've been thinking about copper pipes for a while too...

Still thinking on how to incorporate subtle watercooling on a mini-itx board for my Aluminix "never finished" box.
