Corsair announced the all-in-one Hydro Series Hydro H5 SF, the company’s first advanced liquid CPU cooler for small the form factor Mini-ITX.  The H5 SF was originally developed for the Corsair Bulldog living room gaming system, but it also works great in any system that's built around a Mini-ITX motherboard.

It has a pump assembly with a copper cold-plate and flexible, low permeability tubing, just like our larger Hydro Series models. They're matched with a one-piece blower which cools the circulated liquid by drawing cool air from the inside of your PC and exhausting it outside the case. So, in addition to keeping your CPU cool, the H5 SF provides additional cooling for the motherboard and other components by constantly pulling cool air across them. The low permeability tubing helps ensure long life, and the flexible design makes installation easier in tight spaces. The cold plate uses copper for its excellent heat transfer properties, and pre-applied thermal compound saves you time and mess during installation.
