I'm having thermal issues with overclocking and was wondering if any of you know of a liquid cooling solution that would fit my budget gaming build?
 
MY RIG
Asrock IMB-170 socket g2 mini itx server motherboard
Core i7-3740qm 2.7ghz clocked to 3.3ghz  (45x multiplier) hyperthreads to 4.09ghz 
AMD Radeon RX 580 8gb MSI Amour OC
NIB ARK 600 WATT PSU
16gb Corsair Vengeance ddr3 1600mhz sodimm ram
Sandisk 240gb SSD
Cooler Master Elite 130 Case
 
I've seen many 120mm fans & radiators like that of the Corsair H80i v2 that would work with my case but don't know if the mounts would fit my motherboard

Water cooling isn't really better than air, until you go extreme. It's cheaper and more convenient to get a decent air cooler.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

Well there really isn't any aftermarket coolers other than the one i found on ebay for $15 I put in the picture above.. considering how it's a laptop cpu converted into a desktop form factor this is undefined unexplored territory

I'm not aware of any purpose made stuff for it. What's the hole spacing? You might be able to jerry rig something

When you are working with such a small form factor as this mini itx case water cooling is pretty much your only option

There are low profile coolers like the noctua NH-L9i or the Cryorig C7

think you are missing the point i want to water cool it because it will help the resale value plus lower the thermals more than air cooling I think if I had a properly sized gpu water block that was spaced correctly I'm pretty sure that would work for my application and be within my budget

Unfortunately the datasheet for your motherboard does not list cooler compatibility. Could you measure the space between two adjacent screws?

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)
