I can fit a single 140mm rad on my tiny case. What is the best rad out there?

It's too cool a i7 3770K clocked to 4.9Ghz, possibly a 670GTX as well

I have a Hardware Labs Black ICE 2x140 rad. And I'm impressed with its quality. They seem to be around the cheapest 140mm rads on here. They do a thin

and thick version.

If you can fit the thick version in, then obviously go for that one.

There is also the SR1 Black ICE RAD. This has lower fins per inch. Better if you want a silent PC with lower rpm fans. But it's around £10 more

Not sure about the EK ones, maybe someone else can comment on them?

his point is that you won't cool both a CPU AND GPU on a single 140mm
the CPU on it's own would be ok and you might be lucky and the GPU on it's own would be ok, but both together, definitely not

an i7 3770k overclocked will be in the region of 125w-150w but a 670 even with no OC is the best part of 170w
