I know by far the Thermochill PA120.x's are the forum favorite radiator, but my friend wants to get a Cosmos S and doesnt really want to do any modifying. Which Rad would be the one to get? I was thinking HW GTX360, a Feser X-Changer 360mm or a Swiftech MCR-320?
He will be cooling a Q6700 OC'd, Dual 8800GT, NB, SB, and Mosfet.
i have built 3 setups with the mcr-320 and i have had great totallly satisfying results using low speed fans. in my current loop (in sig) it effectively coools an x38 NB and a q6600 @ 4ghz without breaking a sweat, im sure i even have more headroom for heatload
For the heatload you are giving it, I would suggest the PA120.3 or the Feser.

mcr320 wont cut it. OC'ed cpu, SLI 8800gt, NB, SB, and mosfet is too much for a mediocre rad
so would a GTX or a feser rad do the trick? with high flow fans
If it were me I would drop the idea of WCing the NB, SB and Mosfets. A good after market cooler would work great and not put excess heat dump into your loop.
A Black Ice 480 GTX for cooling those other 3 blocks.
Throw some high CFM Delta fans on it for some great flow.
I'm using 5 of these Delta's on 2 rads.

feser will be great
Rad has to be 3 fan.. and fit inside the cosmos S .. no exterior mounts.. gonna be using some panaflo ultras .. maybe he will consider dual loop with a 120.1 to cool nb sb and mosfets
a Feser is more expensive than a PA120.3 and only slightly smaller (I don't have the length dim handy).
yeah but the cosmos S has a spot for a 3x120 rad.. Swiftech/HWlabs fan spacing.. only reason why he rather not go with a thermochill.. he doesnt want to mod his case

If your annoyed by sigs telling you to put things in your sig, then put this in your sig
Bribery won't work on me...just say NO to AT!!!
ok so what if he went with a GTX 360 for cpu and SLI 8800.. then a 120.1 or something for the NB/SB/Mosfet?

That would work just fine.
