Just the CPU you could get away with a 240 30mm thick, the bigger the better though

This, and hell, he could do a thick 120/140. Just depends on how high the OC is.

Wasn't what I was hoping to hear but I knew that would be the answer anyway. :( Thanks. :)

It would be a small one. Just for fun and no real practical use.

Atleast 45mm, if you're doing a custom loop with a single 120mm something is wrong with you.

I am also using a 240 mm in the top. The reason I was wondering if a thick 120/140 would be fine is I could fit dual res in there for red and black liquid. In retrospect it might just be better to get another 240 and forget dual colors. Thanks for the help :)

What would be the minimum size necessary to cool a i7-4790k with an overclock? This is for a custom loop and I need it to be as small as possible. 

A thick 140 in push/pull. Taking cues from the X41 - 140XL.
