    minimal size loop for a stock i7-920 and a gtx 580

    unfortunantly, due to no mounting locations, i have to stick to a single 120, hence why i would have thought 2 80mm thick ones should be sufficent. im not after the coldest pc in the world. but better than the stock cooler, and as good as i can get realy. cheers jbates58

    minimal size loop for a stock i7-920 and a gtx 580

    well as i have about 55mm, i was hoping to use the swivel fittings i linked, with the cooler, to allow it to clear, have a less restriceted flow (compared to a direct 90* bend) and go at an odd angle if need be. what would the height of those fittings be when mounted to the cpu block? and...
