with med speed fans (1300-1600rpm) i'd go with the MCR, with low speed fans you can achieve the same w/ the XSPC, so is the extra $40 worth the little bit more quietness you gain with the fat radiator?
the feser junk just isn't worth it. dont pay for their overpriced crap.
Feser seems to have some sort of problem, their rads are out of stock pretty much everywhere. :shakes:
You are obviously speaking from experience here :down: feser makes fine radiators.Quote:

I've been noticing that many shops are out of stock on most of their radiators. P PC's has no TC, nothing over tfc 240 but looks to have most of their hwlabs rads in stock. hwlabs and xspc seem to be the two easiest to get atm.Quote:

Any reason why feser should be avoided? I am genuinely curious.Quote:

You must be referring to the price bracket that Thermochill held for years before getting beat out by many of the newer radiators? A GTX 480 will run you around $140 USD and a tfc 480 will run about $150, an xspc is about $125, I haven't seen prices on the new TC 120.4's. I'm sure once again that you are speaking from personal experience Louis, if not then go look at a graph done by Martin to see what rad excels where.Quote:

you're definitely over the limits of the true, go WCing and your temps will def be under 70C, unless ur room temps are way high...
the mcr320 will be fine for a cpu loop
RX360 for $94.Quote:

yes, i am speaking from experience and i've used fat radiators & skinny radiators, they perform very similar. i know the mcr320 is the absolute best bang/buck triple radiator out there. i also know that the RX360 is within 1-2c of the TFC/TC radiators at low (800-1200rpm) fan speeds. now, you tell me if the TFC (around $140 when in stock) is worth the extra $45 for pretty much the same temperatures that nobody will notice the difference of? is it even worth waiting/searching for the tfc triple? i dont think so
wow what a nice way to necro the thread.
But u guys can see where the stackable MCR320 came from on post 23 dated back in October 2008!
Hero cookie for you :up:Quote:

Hey dud! Nice to see you here! My vote for the PA 120.3 ... In SG is hot ... we need damn big ass radiator! Haha!
it doesn't matter where you are, if it is hot in singapore, you'll be limited by ambient temps.Quote:
