I just built a new I7 system this week with a Asetek 240mm Radiator and it works extremely well. It dropped my temps down by 17 degrees, idle/load from a cooler master v8 (38 idle, 68 load).
@jalyst, out of the Aesetek (570LX)240mm, eco 240, the cosair h50 and coolit C240, the asetek is the one to choose in terms of value. you probably can find one for $100us shipped with out the cheaps fans. i puchased mine with two 120mm 1200rpm that wont do much cooling.
With performance in mind i have 4 fans in a push pull config(intake) and my temps are around 21c idle and 52 load, north bridge is 41c idle/load and motherboard temps are 28c with my I7 over clocked to 4Ghz 24/7. My games dont go over 48c for cpu but my gpu is at 72c.
I choose fans that have high static pressure and high CFM that can push air through the radiator with a high flow rate.
The 4 fans that i have on the radiator is two scythe slipstreams 120mm x 25 1900rpm, 110 Cfm and 37 Dba doing push, and two Enermax vegas (led)120mm x 25 2000rpm, 84 Cfm and 16 Dba doing pull.
I have a Fan Controller dedicated to my radiator only b/c noise is noticable at full throttle espeically the two slipstreams on max, so i set them to them at 1400rpm which brings the noise down a great deal.

Thermaltake Spedo Advanced

Radeon HD 5770 X 3 CFX
