How reliant on the CPU location (ie motherboard) is this cooler/cutout combination? What board is being used for testing, and how much wiggle room is there, please?
Hi all, great to see that this has now gone into pre-orders! I don't have a pump in mind for this as yet, would the emitter heatsink be useful to allow heat from any pump to be emitted as well as dumped into the coolant, or is it more for a specific use case of acetal/acrylic?

There are photos of how the mounting plate fits together under the first spoiler tag (Initial impressions + cat tax)
I was basing my question on the survey at the top of the page, where it asks for your preferred build - aluminium is not in that list. Of course, the question may just be for the block, but I was curious so thought I'd ask.
Is it loud because the motor is naturally loud anyway, or is it perhaps resonating with the block?
Just trying to figure out if this is a problem with the block (sadface), or just with your chosen pump (sadface for you, but not an issue for the creator).
This is beautiful. It's exactly the mods I would have made to another case. Well done.
(edit: The feet are unusual, but hey, gotta be some signature feature somewhere. I can live with them.)
