So, what is the best radiator/heatercore out?

[=w=]

I'll be running only a CPU loop, and want the best heatercore/radiator out. So, if osmeone could help me, it'd be greatly appreciated. :toast:

Well, the BEST would be a double 120mm radiator like the Black Ice Xtreme Double that's like $100. HOWEVER, it's overkill and it's HUGE. I use a Dtekcustoms.com JR-120 radiator, that costs like $30....it's big and thick, 120mm.... it's nice.

I love the JR-120 rads too. Allthough they could use a new paint job hehe

This baby with a shroud that can hold 2x 120mm fans on both sides of the heatercore.

Hmm....I may splurge for the Xtreme II...

A bit better than a BIE of same size, but not by much. Best thing about the thermochill is that it has a bleed valve at the end away from the barbs, makes it easier to work with.

A heater core large enough to take 2 x 120mm fans per side will best both the BIE II and the Thermochill 120 x 2, and with a bit of paint & a well made shroud they look very nice.

you guyz know I can't resist posting these by now.

the sane version:

^higher cooling capacity than the BIX2...about $50 to build including the shroud, the side plates, the paint, etc.

the just plain silly version...
