Do you guys think a single 1x80mm radiator could handle the processor and single graphics card of a HTPC that will only ever play movies/watch tv/browse the net? Not looking for ultimate cooling, just silent cooling, so I would go for a low speed 80mm fan on it.

Any ideas if it could handle the heat output of a stock Q6600 and like an 8800GT or somtn?

Dunno if they have the 80mm version there, but they have the 92mm, and 2x92mm versions....
Been thinking about doing something with one of these for a while myself..... :rolleyes:

small radiator big ass fan... is what i am thinking...
now if only you could fit a standard size 120mm rad without modding the mini itx into an e-atx...

IMO, single 80mm rad is worthless.
Maybe try the dual 92mm??
Either way, hit that puppy with some CFM..

If you do a dual or single 92mm rad I have some San Ace 92mm fans I can get you cheap. They do move massive amounts of air for the size. Undervolt them to 5v for silence though.

Cutless I have an 80mm rad you can have cheap. Its new never used. I was gonna use it for my P180 but ended up putting a dual instead. That way you could try it cheaply before spending any real money. I even have the 80mm to 120mm adapter for it, both new. Let me know.

I have an 80mm rad, would handle like if you watercooled an hdd or 2 but will not handle a Q6600 even at stock air would be better, try the dual 92mm prolly wok better.
