'Ey Lab Rat 2.
Maybe i am wrong for what i mean for modular but something like can used both huge heatsink and liquid cooler or can use heatsink only or can use liquid cooler only.
Parts:
1. cpu cooler base
2. cpu huge heatsink - can attached/detached to cpu cooler base
3. cpu liquid cooler- can attached/detached to cpu cooler base
4. northbridge chipset cooler base
5. northbridge chipset huge heatsink - can attached/detached to northbridge chipset cooler base
6. northbridge chipset liquid cooler- can attached/detached to northbridge chipset cooler base
7. some other parts like tubes, screws, etc.
1 to 7 are in single package when you bought it.
Placing of base / heatsink are not limited from which direction (like north - east - west - south side).
I am quite sure it is possible (i had ideas on my mind ) but impractical for some/most builders/manufacturers.
Got talked already to number of techs in my place. Most of them "just" agreed - like uninterested also.
