    DFI LP JR P45 T2RS, of course!
    Couldn't be happier with mine, it has put some ATX boards I had previously to shame.
    And I can honestly say the same for the Mini P180.

    Finally finished stage 1

    Recieved both rads today, and installed only the 220 as I will put the 120 on when I get the GPU cooler.

    Tidied the cables a but and will finish that when the sleeving kit and sata cables arrive

    Behold my 3T sata power cable! lol

    Is the radiator held in place by sitting in the 'CD-ROM drive' slot of the case?

    There's no way you can fit a 25mm fan there nor cut anything as the HDD cage is in the way anyway. As for the 120 rad, it's too tall and again the HDD cage is in the way.

    The 120 rad will go at the back as per above photo's.

    Thanks for your comments/input

    mid 44ish idle and 63 load @ 4.5-.7 @ 1.4(something will confirm tonight V) it was a fairly humid evening though

    The board has a droop of .5v, hoping to lessen that.

    Great idea on customizing the color of the cables using sleeves.
    I'll probably do that some day.

    I have the Mini P180 as well and was debating for a long time about watercooling. I must've looked at this page 100 times. I finally did it though.

    Sorry for digging up an old thread =x

    Here is my build.
    It can also be found here: http://www.overclock.net/water-cooli...mini-p180.html

    Not much modding. Took out the top 5.25" bay and mounted the rad on top of the case.
    I was able to put 2 standard Yate Loon 25mm along with the MCR220 up top after taking out the top 5.25" bay.

    Specs:
    Asus Rampage II Gene x58 mATX
    i7 920
    6GB G.Skill DDR3-1600
    BFG GTX 260
    3xWD 500GB AAKS Raid0

    Bonz, I have to ask, what is your OC on your i920, vCore, and temps w/ 100%?

    I have a regular antec p180b and hate it, but the mini looks nice.

    Finally, there's some quality mATX boards out there. Nice job btw, looks slick. Thats a very powerful rig.
    You must [not] advance.


    Current Rig: i7 4790k @ stock (**** TIM!) , Zotac GTX 1080 WC'd 2214mhz core / 5528mhz Mem, Asus z-97 Deluxe
