Very nice and exact!

very clean, clever tube routing and placement of lc components. Liquid cooling Sokoban

Only thin ad that is good is a swifty mcr 320

im not sure how thin it needs to be but have you looked at hw labs black ice stealth radiators ? those are about as thin as it comes. if you need something even thinner than that i'd recommend looking at oil heater cores in your local automotive shop to find something with the same length as 3x120

Thanks, I checked them out, they come in at 34mm which is 2mm thicker than what I already have.

I was looking for a radiator under 30mm. Automative oil heater cores are thin? I didn't know that...will certainly check the auto garage nearby, thanks.
