You are correct but I may updrade to a 4670k with some light overclocking in the future hence the desire to know if my water cooling idea would work. I want to know if it is possible not whether or not it is practical.

You came to the right place for opinions and here's mine.

(Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-05-23 17:39 EDT-0400) I selected the AMD because it is an APU and it has a little more graphical umph than CPU's. I chose the Zalman cooler because of it's performance, value and low noise level. The motherboard is just a lower tier model from a trusted manufacturer. Ditto for the RAM. Unless your mother is ripping CD's or DVD's 256GB of storage should be sufficient. If more storage is necessary you can get a quality 1TB internal for US$50-60 or an external for about the same. The case is an affordable and well built case with understated lines that appeal to the older set (I'm 44 y/o). The PSU has much more power than is necessary but it is about the least expensive unit I could find with a reputation that I trust. Good luck.

That is the reason for my question. I don't want the rad above the CPU because of tube management and I don't want the expense of a DIY system. The MSI ITX GPU's form factor may allow for a thick rad placed in the forward GPU fan slot while allowing for full sized GPU performance. Probably because of the expense, but they look like good units. Besides that they are totally unsuitable for the ML07/RVZ01.

Hello Everyone, Long time lurker and data leech here. I am very excited about the ML07 and I want to watercool it. According to the documentation and Linus' review of the RVZ01 Silverstone has made allowances for custom watercooling with a 240mm rad but you'll be limited to a single slot graphics card. Who wants that?! My question is whether a paired with a Corsair H75 or similar (not overclocking) with the rad placed on the forward most 120mm slot would work? Linus, want to do a video on watercooling options for the ML07 and RVZ01? I will be building this next month with or without liquid cooling so stay tuned.
