    I'd go for the PA120.3 if i was after a new one. Looks like they'll be the best of the bunch

    The first three are pretty much the same in performance, so aesthetics would be your only reason for choosing one over the other. The Aquacomputer Evo is for small bore systems specifically, and a good performer.

    However if you are going small bore, the HTF3 Tripple X by Watercool.de is your rad of choice. It has nine metres worth of tubing wrapped up in it, and tests show it delivers spectacular cooling performance.

    I was under the impression thr Thermochill PA120.3 was better than the others as its the new design over the old he120.3 model

    thermochill, as it can now be used with very quiet fans at a good performance.

    thermochill, co-designed with cathar, who is a ledgend, teh new pa version not teh he version has less dense fins but it a bit thicker and hence is better with less high performance fans and more friendly with low noise fans which eveidently produce less cfm's

    No, he means fewer CFM.

    Let me drop in the grammar and punctuation for you and all will become clear... :)
