Rad Rating Thread.

UPDATED: We are assuming a few variables about your system...

Assume: 1.5GPM Flow Rate - (This would probably be close to what most systems run, and differences result in very little difference in radiator thermal performances).

Assume: 10C Water to Ambient Delta - This is pretty standard, I've seen a few cases of 15C for the 80mm rads, but 10C is pretty common.
Note:This is just how much hotter the coolant will be than the ambient temperature. People need to understand it's just a number, and if you want better cooling, this is one of the most important areas you can improve upon. It's not that hard to keep water/ambient deltas less than 5C if you have plenty of radiator capacity.

Assume: Nexxus Fans at 12V - While we probably see more people using Yate Loon D12SL12s, most of the available thermal curves for radiators have used the Nexus fans at 12V, yate loon data just is not available.
