No PA 120.3 in stock should I go with a GTS 360?

I just got word from the online retailer that they are temporarilly out of stock on the PA 120.3's and asked me what I would like to do. They are expecting stock by end of week.

They have Black Ice® GT Stealth 360's in stock, anyone know if they are just as good a performer? The marketing sure makes it look good! :fact:

Well, according to what creidiki heard from Radical (who is currently testing the GT against other radiators), the GTS 360 should perform on par with the Swiftech MCR320-QP...which is about $10 less expensive. So...if they have those in stock, it may be a better alternative.

Then again, you could just wait for the PA120.3 to come back in stock. :rolleyes:

There is a significant difference between both the GTS and The PA 120.3 on both efficiency and performance. Which is the reason I ran for the 120.3 in the first place.

how much diff in performance between the PA and GT or MCR ?

Rough figures with yates:

PA @ 7v = other rads @ 12v, PA @ 5v = other rads @ 7v.

I can't get those numbers, I have been looking but it looks like no one has had the time or opportunity to do a head to head comparisson. I guess I'm betting on that fact that the PA remains the indefeated low noise /high performance RAD.

Radical_53 has the numbers...

thanks creidiki for the info

creidiki is some sort of mega person ive noticed

Its true, my ego is so large theyve had to invent a new branch of mathematics to define it :3

lol i wasn't talking ego i was talking WC knowledge! your the google for WC stuff!

Why would radical hog them all for himself?

Cause he hasnt finshed all the tests yet... he was still waiting on the x-flow BIGT and the BIP last I heard

And while we're waiting,just tale a look of his initial result first ;)

Now how did I manage to miss that thread?
Thanks for the link.

i went from a MCR220 to a PA120.3 and dropped about 2-3C off my load and idle.

yeah...some guru told me "PA is the best rad.money can buy" I followed his wise advice and very happy that I did.

(Thanks creidiki :))

And with the new paint is way more sexier... :)

So in your opinions,

List the three brands in order from the best to the wortst:
PA
MCR
BIP
BIGT

Whats the best bang for your buck?

Performance:
PA
BIGT/MCR (soon to be defined)
BIP

Best bang for the back is MCR.

Radicals initial results show MCR > BI GTS, atleast @ Low - Mid CFM

It looks like:
PA
MCR
BI GTS

I want to know where the ProIII lands.

I've talked to radical a few days ago and still the PA is the best rad around. The performance especially with low rpms is incredible. I'm going to get one myself.
