    Nice work Skinnee.

    Any chance of adding a comparable Koolance rad into the mix? Setting aside the requisite alu convo ;D Would really be interested in seeing the results.

    Damn nice roundup Skinnee! Some might even say it's the cat's pajamas.

    It's nice to see that you recommend all three radiators as they are all good rads. Maybe we need to make a donation thread just for you because this looks like a redonkulous amount of work. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

    Great work my friend!! I have to agree with BA that it looks like a redonkulous amount of work and I thank you for it!



    I also have to agree that the thing that would stop me from buying the PA series again is the insane prep, ghetto gasket and the huge array if awesome fittings you cant use on them becasue of the BSPP thread.

    I wish I could lend you my Fesser to add to the fray.

    The fan speeds aren't the same so it doesn't match up properly. I will probably retest that sometime in the near future because of changing test procedures.

    Update:
    Fixed the typo in the table headers, now reads properly ..."3 Fans in Pull". Also fixed the X-axis label for fan specification. I missed the D12SL12 RPM range the first time through.

    Still looking for a BIX360/TFC360 to borrow for a week or two.

    edit:

    A very nice review indeed. Funny thing that the PA120.3 is holding on despite the years on its neck.

    Am I reading this right?

    At 1000 rpms, the Thermochill dissipates 4 more watts than the Swiftech at best?

    What does this translate into degrees on my processor?

    0,05 degrees difference

    Something like that is not measurable, a bad/good mount of your CPU block has more effect on your temps.

    Cool, I'm thinking about putting together a H20 setup and just trying to get things figured out as to what to use.
