when i get my next check im going to go with Akasa 140mm x 25mm Viper with a nice 110 cfm just like the sleverstone only not as noisy .also i hear that the air pressure is good on these :).
think its i have to find a way to mod out the top and im no pro .
i just have a hand metal cuter .my hands hurt like hell after lol .
 
now i know u guys said 265 cfm fans but being that this is going to be in my recording studio and i want to use my pc at night lol im going to skip out on this.
 
 
 

may still look around 

Im interested in hearing more about your TEC set up that you having. What is the Qmax of your TEC and how many TEC's are you using?

265 was best option, not necessary.  You could go with many other options.  A pair of AP30's, or a pair of Panaflos like mine are good options too, and not terribly loud either, I haven't used the AP-30s myself so I couldnt say for sure.  Just remember, I cannot stress this enough, its all about static pressure, NOT CFM.

 
This.  That Akasa fan doesn't have bad pressure, but it's just not enough for such a thick rad and nobody knows how reliable that fan is or isn't.  Go for the Scythe GentleTyphoon AP-30 or even the AP-29 in push/pull.  If that Monsta rad was really necessary and you plan to take advantage of its cooling capacity, then say goodbye to a quiet PC.  If low-noise was a priority, then you should have gone with a thin, lower FPI radiator.

What's the highest I should look for with out being to noisy . I'm going to check out the fans u just listed

P.s I see the sides come off this rad can fit 80 mm fans on the sides if I mod it
Some thing I may look in to . But first the 140's and my tec psu.
I know I'm not taking full advange . But I just love how this think looks .

Qmax . I had a 350 watt . But I push her to hard on the black ice rad . I'm thinking about stacking 2 245 watt tec's but I have to look in to that as stacking tec would be a new thing for me .
I was planing to upgrade it anyway lol the good thing about custom tec water blocks is they can only fall back to water blocks.
I was using rubber eracer . works great . The water block is a bit thicker than a 120 by 25 mm fan if u or woundering .thats a lot of coper it set me back 150 . On over clock.net

The only thing that I'm wondering is if I put gresase in the CPU socket now to get it out of the way if it would add to much heat . Also the window sealer around my CPU socket as I'm just using my block with out tec right now.

For a setup like this, TEC, Monsta etc, dont ricsk a fan that we dont know how reliable it is, IMHO not worth it.  If it were mine, I wouldn't.  AP30's are likely the best bet.

As long as there not as loud as my ys tech fan then I will give it a go

So let me get this straight, you have a TEC sandwich with 2 water blocks, with the hot side being cooled by radiators and the cold side cooling your cpu?

Just one block I had one tec with the cold side facing the CPUand the hot side facing the fitting . The CPU block comes apart to put the tec in .

The way I was planing to add the new tec's where cold sides facing the CPU and hot sides facing the rad

Oh ok, thats pretty cool.
 
Do you have a picture of this block? I'd love to see it. Im looking at getting something like this designed myself from a member of these forums.

https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn....55088_1575397625_n.jpg its right here in the case . i know there better ones out there now a days .
got mine 2 to  3 years ago  

here is one that is a quid stack  
this is not my block but man i wish it was :)

i may  send my case off for modding. im thinking about add a new chamber on top of my case for big rads .

Why send your case out for modding? Do it yourself, it will save you a ton of money and its easy to do, depending on what is it you want done.
 
If all you want to do is be able to add some rads on the outside, then thats easy. You can use products like these that will help you mount radiators on the outside using your existing 120mm fan holes from your case.

You may need to drill a couple of holes into your case depending on whether or not you have existing tubing holes. Drilling holes is easy, all you need is a drill (electric or hand mechanical) and the right size bit. I'd suggest a 7/8" hole, or a 13/16" hole. That way you will find it easy to get your 3/4" OD tubing in and out without cutting or having your tubing catch on the edges of the hole (filing the holes a bit will eliminate the burr on the holes edge thats left from drilling).

ya im looking at that 2. i think i may take a look at the tools .
there or a few small things i never did like about may case .
and having the tools to do mods when i want would be great .
the windows showing the wires below where the psu is .
so i would mod that .
 
that Enclosure/Riser i wonder if i can get it to fit 140mm fans  
and a rad as think as mine  m.
