I'm toying with going water again but in the smallest of cases that conveniently doesnt have a pair of 120mm fan mounts only 80mm at the back.

Can anyone tell me what the performance of the HWLabs Black ICE GT Xtreme Micro M160 80mm Double Radiator compares to 120.2 rads
 
I want to avoid external rads etc otherwise I would have gone with a reserator or something like cape cora tubes.

Im assuming the 80x2 rad would be plenty as it will be dealing with no more than 130-150 watts load and most people get good temps on a 120x2 with an i7 at 4ghz which produces closer to 260-270 watts
 
There is a 120mm fan mount at the front but I'm not sure if there is room for rad and fan in there although I might be able to have the rad mounted internally then the rad between the case and front panel but ill have to have a measure.

I really could do with some figures as this is more for silence that extra overclocking headroom

EDIT: Further googling has lead me to discover that the single fan version of the rad can handle ~100w load so assuming this doubles up but adding in a 20% for scaling it should easily handle ~180 watts
