240mm Radiator test / review..

[RobinL]

Can someone tell me where i can find some recent tests of different brands of 240mm radiators, because i don`t know which best price / performance wice is the best to buy..

On a dutch forum they recommend me to get an XSPC RS240mm radiator.
But probabilly there are better performance radiator to get for a little bit more money..

I have used to searched with google, but can`t get some good results..

I would take a look at any 360 rad reviews, and I would assume that you can generalize relative performance.
On a price/performance stand point, nothing will beat the swiftech mcr220.

The advantages of the xspc radiator will be shown mostly with your fans at a low rpm, visit skinneelabs.com for detailed reviews.

One thing that matters possibly more than your radiator is your fans. Right now, alot of people are crazy about scythe gentle typhoons. Either the 1450 rpm or 1850 rpm version will do the trick.

If however you don't really care about noise, then getting 38mm fans, that run over 2000rpm and a black ice gtx will work out...

Personally, I use an xspc rx360 radiator, and my fans are rarely over 1000 rpm.

I would not recommend an RS240. They are really not great rads at low fan speeds. XSPC RX series radiators are great. The RS ones are old and a lot higher FPI.


EDIT: Aside from RS vs RX the above is the way to go. Check out the 360 rad reviews, especially skinnee's, and base your decision on that. The same rad series at different sizes should perform the same (proportionally of course).
