Cooling radiators

Whats the best make of radiator Iv been looking at black ice stealth and there gts and gtx radiators.

 

The best rad's are the Thermochill PA120's but they are quite big though. If you want a low-profile rad, the GT-Stealth and Black Ice Pro are good.

 

The GT stealth is better than the BIP in my opinion. My BIP can barely hold its own with 1.5 vcore on an e6600. The rad gets quite warm to the touch and i had to add a mcr220. Also, check out this thread http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=77260.

 

A BI-GT IS better than an A BIP, but BIP's are cheaper and still not all that bad.

 

I quite like the thermochills if there the best I think I will use them.

 

Best for what though?

Performance? Possibly Thermochill, but its very dependant on installation.

Quietness? Probably one of the large passive jobs. Cape mora2 perhaps? Or the APE1800.

Useability? Possibly themochill 'cos of the bleed screw.

 

Performance mainly doesnt matter about instalation ease because my case is huge.

 

thermochills give the best performance by up to 5 degrees c depending on the other hardware in the loop.

 

And depending on the fans. >100 Cmf then a BIX is better, <100CMF then a Thermochill is better.

 

so bassically if you still want to hear anything and have gd temps the thermochill.

 

I dont mean installation ease, i mean the way its installed. It needs to breathe well. Lack of airflow is the most common reason for a badly performing loop.

5 degrees? Where does that figure come from? Compared to what?

 

Breath well Im modding the case so they can breath aswell as I want them to so no probelems there.
