They're a right biatch to get on properly.

This is the 4th PA I've put that gasket on...never gets easier. I didn't peel off the backing this time, used some double-sided tape instead. I'm noodling on making a proper gasket for it.

twwen2, skinnee, are you guys are using Marci's recommended method?

Yup...blasted thing still just isn't right. I think there is something weird that happens to them on the trip across the Atlantic, such as taking the long way and venture through the Bermuda triangle.

Just thought I would add my 2 cents. Alex over at Petra's Tech Shop provided a free RX360 rad for my new project: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=163649 I also purchased a 2nd one with my own funds. Both of them have none of the problems listed in this thread. Hole spacing is fine, paint job is excellent.

No complaints so far, however I have not leak tested them yet.

and remind me again, why am i supposed to pay $30 + for thermochills?

i love my PA120.3... but back then... it's either the PA or MCR320 that really made sense... now the RX series makes more sense than the TC's...

maybe i should stop listening to the depressing news all day...
the economy WILL get better... it will... it just have to...

So....RX > RS = Thermochill (just performance, excluding price) WHere does Feser go into the mix?

I'm excluding HW Labs Black Ice cause the radiators are more densely-finned for higher CFM/pressure fans.

Forget everything I said about getting another one. :mad: These goofy SOB's making these things at XSPC would ruin a wet dream. My hole spacing is definitley off......:rofl: Just curious if I get the unlucky bastage award for being the first dumb ass who bought one...too funny, it's so damn comical I can't even get pissed. I should have known when something's to good to be true it isn't. I can make it work, but it should be right in the first place, and if others rad are like the one I have, it will cause a problem when mounting.

Before Mr. Wizard gets all lathered up, I ain't getting one of those over priced TFC 360's either.

But the XSPC RX rad is what it is, and I felt obliged to let every know regardless of what I previously stated.

I know this is an old post but I noticed this and can relate my experiences with the 360RX in that the fan holes never lined up right and it was a pain to fasten fans onto it. I always thought it was becuase I had my rad serviced to close a perforated leak. So this is a common problem fan holes not lining up right?

I've had problems gettings fans lined up on a large number of radiators from many different manufacturers. Fan mounting should be easy, but sometimes even 2mm's off can turn the process into a nightmare.

Take it nice and slow. If on a triple, try getting the two outside fans loose mounted and slide the center fan in place. Secure the center fan first, then proceed with securing the outside fans. This is the method I use when having trouble getting fans mounted and works well.

Yeah, we changed the site over to a CMS back end and that screwed up all the pics. I'll be going through all of the review threads and updating them once my body figures out what time zone its in.
