Which radiator is the best to use? im setting up my system pretty soon and am trying to decide on the radiator which will suite my loops the best. im looking for two 120.3 rads, one for each loop and was wondering whcih one's u guys suggest i get. i was looking at XSPC, thermochill or swiftech ones, apart from the price i cant see much difference, can someone please guide me in the rite direction!?!?

also is there any point in using a'shroud' such as this:

Can you provide your system specs and what you are planning to use in the rest of your loop.

edit: beat me to it.

I would recommend 3 medium speed Yate Loons on each of two MCR320 radiators.

They suck in performance especially on a rad.
