Mini-ITX madness – bringing on the freeze!

I found some time today to check out the really weird and wonderful extreme cooling setups in our GIGABYTE H55 Mini-ITX contest on hwbot. The motherboard being terrorized in these shots is our beloved little H55N-USB3. Keep in mind that this little board is intended for tiny media centers and portable LAN gaming systems – not exactly extreme overclocking. However, by all accounts it seems to be holding it’s own as a mid-range overclocking platform with CPU speeds of just under 6GHz. Check out these rigs that show just how small the little board that can really is.
