Cooling both CPU and GPU with a slim 240 rad? Won't be very silent and you will not have any if non overclocking headroom or is there another 240 rad hiding under the visible one? :)

I'm using a corsair air 240 and I don't think there will be enough space for a thicker one :(

Wow... great case :) Your in luck then:

 

if you are using an ITX board there is room for 2 x 240 40 mm thick rads + normal thickness fans. The frost tian link in my signature shows how. Using 2 slim rads might be a bit easier to work with.. :)

you may be able to use the slim rad + 15mm fans that gives 41mm

 

But it may not clear the MB. Cutting a bit off the fan shroud/frame could fix the issue or simply sanding it down to size... but that's a lot of maybes :) Using the rad passively is also an option but I have no idea how effective that would be. I would try to fit the slim rad with slim fans and make it work somehow... :)

 

Silverstone makes some pretty decent slim profile fans (so does prolimatech I think they are called)
