Review: Liquid cooing Mini-ITX with the Corsair Hydro H5 SF
You take any 17x17 Mini-ITX sized motherboard and use the Corsair Hydro H5 SF, what do you get ? Well how about liquid cooling a high end Core i7 on that tiny form factor ? Behold this is the first ever consumer AIO liquid cooling solution for small form factor mITX solutions. That's right, this puppy will hover over your mITX motherboard with proper cooling performance.

Nice cooler. Is there a reason you test on an MSI board, and show a ASUS TUF UEFI bios on page 9?

Nice job from Corsair, but...
...at the end of the day, you wonder why did you buy yourself a "small factor" mobo? It's like buying a small size revolver to a secret agent, to maintain his "low profile", and then you put the helmet with the inscription "police force" on the guy's head...

I normally don't care about reviews like this, but this product definitely stood out to me. I'm probably going to do a mini ITX build for my next gaming rig and this seems like a very good cooling option.
@kinggavin
Depends on what you need it for. I regularly use 4 computers at home, each with a different hardware and software configuration (AMD:AMD:Windows+Linux, Intel:Nvidia:Mac, Intel:Intel:Linux, ARM:Mali:Linux) and because of that, none of these systems are fancy, nor do they need to be. If you use a system strictly for gaming and nothing else, you can easily get by with just a quad core, a mini ITX board, 8GB of RAM, a hefty GPU, and at least 4x USB ports. I'm not implying a mind-blowing gaming PC, just a "pretty good" one. Remember - when you remove all the cruft that has nothing to do with gaming, you can get by with a pretty minimal system.
My current gaming PC may very well be the last full-size ATX PC I'll ever have.

Since it's drawing in air from all around, won't it also be drawing in a lot of dust too? How do you clean it out?

Looks good to me less surface area and a tad bit quieter than the H80iGT and tad bit better performance when overclocked and the H80i GT has two fans could be good in SFF's where if you have a watercooled Fury could potentially allow you to fit both in the case with careful planning.
