A quick SFF CPU cooling question for you guru's here.

[FangedForce]

Hello,

I'm trying to plan a build around my A10-5800K. I want to throw it in an Antec Minuet350, I also want to overclock the IGP in this case. How would you suggest I cool it AND keep the noise levels low?

The case is only ~4 inches tall (96mm) so it's a tight fit.

Thanks in advance.

Its around 60mm high i think.

I've got that on my wish list as an option on newegg.

I was also thinking of getting a watercooling kit, there's just two problems with that.

Number one, I'd have to cut a hole in the top of the case, to mount the radiator and fans.

Number two, there's so much excessive tubing in such a small case, it could possibly cause airflow restrictions for the rest of the components.

What do you guys think?

Or is that zalman pretty much my best bet?

There is this aswell.

Well i wouldn't bother with a watercooling system for a SFF but if you know how to and want to install one go ahead.

That cooler master is pretty nice.

As far as the water cooling, it would just be a closed loop system.
