For my RCC-THIN1 thin mini ITX case I was looking for different cooling solutions when I came up with the idea to make it water cooled. Unfortunately I did not find any affordable radiator which would fit my case design. Finally I came up with the idea to build my own radiator out of aluminum profiles.
The advantage of using aluminum profiles is that it is quite customizable in terms of lenght, width and height.
For example I could imagine to make a rad like this with roughly the size of a FLEX PSU so people could put a custom loop even in some tiny cases which would normally not allow that ...
Below you can see my first prototype test cooling a 65W CPU running prime95 and despite still having a lot of air bubbles in the loop & only using one 4010 fan it keeps the CPU below 65C (at 27C room temperature).
Just let me know what you think and if there would be interest in the community for something like that. Maybe you still have ideas for possible use-case scenarios?
