Need suggestions on radiator and cooling capabilities

[wotevajjjj]

Hi guys,
I've got my big phantom for over 2 years now and I think it's time for something new.
I'm now back in engeneering school and I can make pretty much whatever it is I want there so I'll be making my own case again.

Unles haswell is out really fast (about march will be when I finish this), I'll go with a 3550K and maybe a 670 or what's the new small best thing since I want to go mini-itx.
Here's a quick sketch of what I'm looking at. Yes, the front power button worked better in my head

My question to you now is, is a 180mm rad enough to cool both and what's the best/thickest i can buy. Also if I have to stack 2 180 on top of eachother, in what rder I'd have to do that. Also, since the board is only 170*170, are the any special 170mm rads ?

Thanks folks!

Your case looks very nice. I don't think a 180mm rad is enough for the cpu and the gpu

You definitely can cool a Sandy Bridge CPU & 670 with a 180 mm rad. The 600 series cards run cooler & uses less power than the 580 series cards.

You can read Logan's review of PNY's hybrid water cooled 580 on a thin 120 mm rad...

PNY also has a water cooled 580 & CPU cooler with a thick 120 mm rad. I'm also cooling my (2) EVGA 680s in SLI + a Core i7 2700K CPU using a thin & a thick 120 mm rads. With a single video card there should be know problem with temp even if you use those low rpm silent fans. With dual video cards, you need to use better higer rpm fans (depending on rad design). I got 28-32 c idle temps on both cards. During gaming it goes up to the 50s c but never reaches the 60s c.
