So I'm planning on doing something a little crazy. I want to put an R9 295x2 into an a Cooler Master Elite 130 mITX case. I got the idea from Hardware Canucks who showed this off during their review of the card (see image below).
This GPU will use the front 120mm fan for its integrated cooling system's radiator, meaning that the cpu will either need to be air cooled (with only 3 in clearance above mobo) or have its own separate cooling line.
From what I understand, the Elite 130 also has an optional slot for a side 120mm fan around where the hard drives might be installed. The nearby wall of the case is slotted and should allow for decent air flow. Would it be possible/practical to install a second fan/radiator here for a second dedicated cpu cooling loop?
