Title says it all guys. I would go for a 240mm one, but there isnt enough room for one above the motherboard in the CM Storm Enforcer.

Thanks for your suggestions! :)

In the 120mm AiO series, I believe the H80i pretty much holds the crown...

As per Linus's test results, if you can fit it, a push/pull config can also help...

Might be good to take a look at the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro as well

If i am not mistaken, there are a lot of air coolers that will perform better if that is what your ultimate goal is. Noctua D14 and others come to mind.

That is very true - the Noctua, Phanteks, Thermaltake, etc.... but they are rather large :)

Just have to be careful with the Thermaltake - the H80i rad is about 38mm thick, very good for the 120mm rads. The new Thermaltake is something like 50mm thick - which is great and should perform even better, but, some cases may have clearance problems with a rad that thick, fans and clearing any top mounted fans... just something to keep in mind.

I have a D14 At the moment, however, I hate the way it takes over the innards of my computer and draws far too much attention aesthetics wise. I'd like a watercooled CPU to show off more of the mobo, if you see where I'm coming from. However, I think I'd have to sacrifice my 5.0GHz overclock on my 2500k :(

I am in the same boat right now. D14, but switching to full wc. IMO the closed loops are not really worth it unless you go the big ones. I would just go with a WC kit and go custom.
