    Temps don't tell me anything without specs. If that's like an FX 8150 with that underclocking crap turned off, then that's impressive, but if it's like an i3 2100 then it's mediocre. Though I am impressed at the modded H60. Could we get a parts list or specs, or possibly a write up?

    *dons investigative specs*

    Hokay, that's a Zotac ITX board, square mounting solution, rather than rectangular suggests it's an Intel, probably a 1155, If it's a 2500 or similar; Idle temps will be hella low, due to speedstep. I'm betting you can't push an overclock much on the H50's whimpy radiator.

    Woah that's a huge pile of specs. Okay just to start off, the CPU is crap, especially compared to the GPU. Temperatures are really poor, also. GPU temp is also extremely high. That's all I really have to say.

    Is it?

    Think you will find the i5 dulies are pretty decent tbh! if anything the gpu is underpowered not the cpu.

    It is a nice idea and obviously works well enough but I feel the lack of air flow is killing the temps as the rad is half covered by a psu, not ideal.

    Given a 240 35mm rad would make a big difference but your limited by the size of the case...The pump they use would be the same as in the H100 so 240 rad would not be a problem...

    TL;DR

    Dude, don't just do an Everest type screen dump, it's a real turn-off.

    As a portable little Lan rig; that'd probably do pretty well, but I fear if you ran IBT and Furmark at the same time; it'd boil its' own coolant.
