I have a case coming that has dual 80mm exhausts and I was looking into dual 80mm rads. I am planning on WCing the CPU only on a non-overclocked system. These fans will be put on fan controllers to move slow so it'll be a fairly quiet system.

Is it worth it or should I just drill a 120mm fan hole on the top?
 
Don't even bother using dual 80mm rads--they're the same price as 120mm ones and perform far worse.

If you can, remove a hard drive bay and mount a 120mm rad on the intake, or better yet mount a 120mm or best, a dual 120mm rad externally with a rad box.

Good luck with the watercooling setup.

If you're willing to mod the case then go for the 120x1 or even a 120x2 rad. If you don't want to mod then 2x80mm rads for a non OC, CPU only loop should do the trick.
