Spend the extra 30 seconds and put a proper title w/ at least a model name and source in the comment body. The title as it is says absolutely nothing...
 
That looks like it has fairly limited potential, though rather neat if you have a setup that could use it.

My bad as well, it's been an irritating sort of day. For those wondering, this is the corsair h5 sf used in their Bulldog case, just being sold as a stand alone product

I don't feel like there is enough radiator surface area to perform as well as any of the low profile products already on the market like nh-L9i, cryorig c7, etc. It also seems to require enough clearance that you'd be able to fit a nh-L12 volume wise, and I'm not sold on the noise profile of a water pump + blower fan over a single regular pwm controlled fan
 
Is that a gpu-like blower style cooler? won't that be very noisy? Doesn't seem to offer much benefit size wise, just a different mounting option.
 
Yes it is, but we don't know how noisy it will be. The blower is a lot larger than the one used on GPUs, it could be less noisy.
And you're absolutely right, this thing is bloody huge. A Cryorig C1 takes up less space if I'm not mistaken.
 
I almost passed over it b/c of the generic topic title. looks interesting, but those squirrel cage-type fans tend to be very noisy though.
 
I like the idea - it's something new. But it's not perfectly executed:
- it's going outside the ITX outline
- support bracket might block angled sata/sata-express connectors
- support bracket might not work for different motherboard sizes
(I'm not sure if support bracket may be mounted in opposite configuration though)
- it might not be compatible with motherboards that have opposite socket location (next to pci-e)
- it will collide with tall ram radiators

- Jup that's the biggest showstopper here. Appart from the blower, but you can't change that.
- Didn't even think about that! Fortunately, all boards that do have angled SATA connectors have them stacked, so only the bottom one will be blocked.
- "might"? It won't, period. This cooler with this support bracket will only work for mITX boards, nothing else, unless you get some modding involved.
- That's the one thing I trust Corsair with on this unit. That's the reason why it's watercooled in the first place, to be compatible with all board. Because of those swiveling fittings on the pump/block, you could probably turn it around by 90° to fit it on sockets close to the PCIe slot.
- Well I guess you've got to compromise somewhere. RAM is the smallest issue I see with this cooler.
 
I think that if you assemble it in the opposite way you can mount in on other boar types but that depends on type of screws that are used - You could attach that plate directly to the cooler, probably partially blocking the blower inlet and put the standoffs/extenders directly into the motherboard screw holes.
 
To be honest, with a blower fan, you can make the same design with heatpipe. I highly doubt this will beat say a axp 200 with those 10mm extra as clearance.

And this blower is hardly larger than gpu ones, gpu blower is about 70s mm, remember the coolit block is ~60mm length and width.
