Today i´m using a thermochill PA120.3 to cool my E8500 and NB and my Swiftech MCR220 to cool my crossfire HD3870 cards.
Now i´m planing to buy a new Lian Li A17B case and i want to swap my thermochill to a dual radiator instead. Need some free space in the front for DVD, Fan controller etc.

So i need advice of which radiator i should choose to cool my cpu and nb.

* Thermochill PA120.2
* Another Swiftech MCR220
* Alphacool NexXxoS Xtreme II 240

Will run my setup with Yate Loon SL12 fans. Which of these will u recommend?

Other parts that i have

Swiftech D5
Dtek Fuzion with nozzle
Swiftech Micro Res
2x Maze5 low profile

Will maybe sell my two 3870 cards and get a 3870x2 instead. Haven´t decieded that yet :)

So low noise best performer ??????

Noctuas suck.

Thermochill will give you the performance if you want to run those Yate SLs.

So the thermo is da best choice. About 30euro above the other radiators, and i like my yates because they are silent :)

O rly? Check Vapor's reviews. When people think Noctua, they think about pre F-P12.

Yes, the S12 is crap but the new P12 is much more nicer with enough pressure to work with radiators.

For the CPU and NB, go for the Thermochill PA120.2, and use Yate Loon fans. Not too loud, and work wonders on radiators.
