View Full Version : Radiator comparison roundup?
Is there one with all the recent rads compared to each other against different pumps etc etc...
I dont know tons about the science behind watercooling- I see 120.2 rads at £24, £31 and £36 and I dont really know what makes them different....
specific examples: XSPC RS240, BI GT Stealth 2 and the XSPC R120-D
Cheers guys!

There's not a whole lot.
Here is a french article (amazing testing equipment btw):

And this roundup:

Thermochill has this info:

Swiftech did this article way back

I think there is a few more bits and pieces in threads, but not a whole lot out there on radiators.

K404, perhaps if you wanna provide the forum some info on what you are hoping to do... what are you going to cool? single or dual loop?
i am sure the good folks here will be more than happy to point you in the right direction...
Hey king :) well...I spose a radiator roundup would be good for everyone here, but for me, im looping for a rad for a (2nd) GPU loop. GPUs will vary as time goes by- looking for something cheap-ish and not a complete waste of money.
At the moment, I have a GPU loop with an XSPC R120. Wondering if I should switch to a 120.1 for each GPU loop OR buy another R120 OR buy 2 new rads altogether :)
Cheers :)
