would a black ice steath 240 rad and to yate loon slims work ok for the cpu cooling

Which processor? Although if i'm honest, that would easily manage any CPU on the market today. You could also use the fans that came with the rad on the other side so you have a sort of push pull, but i doubt it would be worth it. Short answer: Yes.

The rad itself is fine, but you will need good fans with good static pressure, like either the apache or noctua fans. This is due to the rad having high fin density.

That would be for optimal performance though, but any fans will do realisticly if ur not to bothered about having pure performance.

Yeah, any reason you do want the Slims? Apache are almost perfect balance between noise and performance.

i have the haf 922 and there is a 50 mm gap the rad is 29 mm and the fans are the thinnist i could find at 20mm 29+20=49 close fit the cpu is an OCd q6600 @ 3.4

I thought you could get 120x120x15mm fans?

all be it the thicker fans would be better, in the case u are using it then it will be fine, and the rad itself will cope with cooling your cpu just fine.

i might add a gfx card water block at a later date but use another rad at the bottom of the case
