by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/26/2016 10:22 AM | source: | 15 comment(s)

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 review, Hilbert!

Looks like a nice option indeed for those of us building SFF rigs. Congrats to Corsair for giving us that option. Cools very well, yet remains quiet (enough). :)

I'm still a bit worried though, regarding general fitment on mini-ITX boards. We see many manufacturers jumping on the mini-ITX platform with increasingly clever designs. Take Asus for example with their "vertical mounted" cpu phases on the Maximus VII impact ...

We have been waiting for this review since early December last year.

And this little thingy delivered and then some! Well done Corsair. :thumbup:


P.S: That CPU cooling block/pump looks the same as the H100i block/pump.

And on a closing note, I would love to build a new "Mini-me" Skylake rig! :D

I love this cooler and it is priced more or less reasonably, I was expecting 100+ euro price tag. Most of all I appreciate that Corsair pioneers a lot of stuff for a good price.

From certain ROG products you can make quickly make a conclusion that functionality is not the primary goal of the product line :banana:

It looks a bit silly , air coolers are fine for mini itx i dont see the need for overclocking a cpu for playing games anymore or gpu for that matter geforce aftermarket cards are overclocked out of the box and non -k intel i7 cpu like 4790 turbo up to 4ghz which is plenty for games , i know overclocking and benchmarking are hobbies but would an overclocker really be interested use an mini itx board
