Hey guys, I'm in the process of preparing for my next build and i was thinking of going SFF with a dfi itx-p55/i7 860/5850 and SGO6.

Ignoring the obvious potential issues with powering the rig and fitting the 5850 in the case, do you think that a black ice stealth gt120 rad with push/pull gentle typhoon config would be sufficient in cooling the 5850 and i7 860 at stock or would it just catch fire and die?

Bare in mind that this is still just an idea, and I'm fully aware that the obvious answer would be no. Id still greatly appreciate some more knowledgeable opinions.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have enough experience with WC to judge either way, but I do hope that you find a way to make it work :rockout: I've been toying around with the idea of a WC SG05, but CPU only.

The poster here cut away part of the case to fit a GTX260 (10.5" I believe): http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1372339&page=24

yeah, i saw that mod earlier today, thanks tho. Im likely going to have to do that to the SG06 to get the 5850 in there considering the 6pin power placement. Idk i reckon itd just look so badass to have a 5850 w/ a Ek-fc nickel with some blue coolant and a clean window mod like this:
