Someone out there that has experience or has heard it through the grapevine. Whats the biggest/longest radiator you can fit on the top of the C70. I know it can host 140mm fans, so could a triple 140 work (420mm)??

It is not designed to take a triple rad in the top - you'd have to get very creative with it, drilling lots of extra holes, and sacrifice some drive bay space at the top front. Better to stick with the double 140mm max it is intended for I would suggest, or get a different case.

Mine has a double 120mm in btw (shown in the pictures linked above)

Measure the distance from the screw holes to the top of the first thing that gets in fron of the holes going vertically down. (Either VRM or RAM.)

Next check the thickness of said radiator, (clue is in the name of the radiator) and add the standard fan thickness of 25mm to that value. If you are using push and pull add that value twice. If said value is smaller then it will fit. If it is larger then it won't.

Well it isnt so much a question of thickness, especially if I can fit a 420, cause then i would just go single direction. Case wont be in for a week, and Id love to get the radiator now if I could. Just seeing if someone has heard, or actually put a 420 on the thing. Ive heard of 360 already.

Guess so :(
im Sure a 420 would be over lapping onto metal that didnt have mesh. Which would suffocate one of the fans probably. I might have to go 2 x 280, one on the bottom.
