    Lightbulb MCR220+MCR330 outperform PA120.3?

    Hey all,

    Simple Question:

    I was wondering if a MCR220 and an MCR320 running in Series would outperform a PA120.3 or would it be roughly the same temperatures?

    If anyone has experience of these setups please feel free to post Temperature comparisons.

    Thanks!

    I'm going to say yes, as the PA and MCR series are decently close performers, so I can imagine having another 2 fan sizes would put the MCR in the lead.
    System:
    ASUS P5K Vanilla | Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 on the way! | Galaxy 8800GT 770/1000 | 4GB Crucial Ballistix 4-4-4-12 | Seagate 320GB 7200.10 | Corsair VX550 | Lian Li PC-7B Plus II

    Cooling:
    Exos 2 Black | Apogee GT | EK 8800GT FC

    It'd be better by a fairly good amount, yes.

    MCR220 + MCR320 is roughly a PA120.3 and a PA160.1 judging by the performance graphs on each manufacturers site. Both rads in the same loop could easily dissipate 600w.
