custom size radiator?

[MarcWolfe]

I have a small case (HP slim line). The largest "standard rad that can fit is a 160mm (dual 80mm). It can't even fit a single 120mm rad. I need a rad thats 94mmx250 max. I'll figure out the fan mounting afterwards. Any body know of a suitable rad?

 

I know, some of you will say "get a bigger case". I want compact. This thing has a smaller footprint than a Node 202 but is a bit thicker. I already know how I'll mount a "full size GPU", but for this to work well enough i need a suitable water cooling setup.

Converted inchs to specific mm measurements.

Thanks but I'm trying find something a bit bigger. I want to water cool the GPU AND CPU.

so, not dual 2x80mm? couldn't really find much else. well, you can always make yer own radiator

[MarcWolfe]

If i only water cooled the CPU, a dual 80mm would be fine. I've been considering a single 80mm for just the CPU since that would leave just enough room for a 3.5 inch hard drive and i could just get an 8 terabyte drive and 2.5 inch SSD. 

 

A dual 80mm would probably be plenty for everything if i used some loud high speed server style fans, but I'd like to keep it quite....er.

How about externally mounted radiator? if its a case you dont care too much about you can drill holes and put the radiator on top. 

Then you can pretty much use as big radiator as you want in push/pull as well. When it comes to watercooling big is better.

You would on that loop minimum need a 120x2 radiator. Maybe you wont even be able to oc with a radiator like this.

Maybe you do. Atleast if its 60mm thick with vardar fans. Then sure.

Else you could get a new small case which support watercooling such as fractal design nano s.

I'm not considering watercooling just because i want watercooling, but because i very little room for an air cooler. No, no external. I want to keep it as small as it was for easy portability.

The hardwarelabs nemesis gtx Micro 184 might fit the bill? Its a 92x2 rad...
