So i plan on doing a build featuring 2 7970's, and one 4670k.

I am very limited on space, and only have enough room for 2 rads, one of them i can probably manage to do P/P, but as i dont have the case in my hands, i cannot tell you.

For those wondering, it is a parvum s1.

So here is my question
Will using 2 240 rads with quiet edition corsair sp120's, (i plan on using the ut60 and st30, primarily based on the fact that the roof of the case does not have enough room for a ut60) be able to cool the 4670k @ 1.3v +-.05v, as well as 2 7970's, the ability to OC them a nice bonus.

So, to sum it up
limited space, only room for 2 240rads, 45mm and 30mm, with only being able to use one set of fans for each, be able to cool a 1.3v haswell, and 2 7970's, without being just a stupid waste of money (IE: temps that would be considered crazy for wc, 70c, 68c)

Or

Do i need a new case.

thanks
 
Get your case first and get some measurements on what you can fit in. The larger and thicker the radiator, the better, as a general rule of thumb.

FYI, the UT60 is 60mm thick, you'll need to go with the XT45 for a 45mm thick radiator.

Your temps may go that high, but your system will be totally quiet. I would say higher temps are worth the greatly reduced noise.
 
I'll be interested in how this goes for you. I am going to do a similar build, but with 3x 7970s and a 3770k. Waiting for the 330r case to come out which is a mid tower. I'll be in a similar situation. From what I have read two 240s can dissipate around 600 watts with fans on low, likely around 1-1.2kW on high. This was with a 10*C delta. Again, I am about to build my first WC rig, so this was researched based and there are plenty of variables, but from what I've seen you should be fine.
