    radiators

    Which of these options is best:


    - 480 + 360
    -480 +280
    -360 + 280

    Or between them is a big difference? I do not want to overpay

    In terms of pure heat dissipation, obviously the 480 + 360.

    Unless you're running an abundance of equipment at full load 24/7 then the difference between either of the three won't be much if anything.

    With the 360 + 280 you'll save a little money on the radiators themselves, and then on having to buy less fans for them as well. You'll also save some room.

    you can run your entire system on a single 360, but your temps will be higher than running any of the two radiator setups. it's that simple. more radiators + faster fans = lower temps.

    what are your goals?
    i7 2600k, 8GB 1866Mhz DDR3, GTX560 Ti, Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4, CM Cosmos 1000 Case, and some green crap everywhere.

    Best bet get the 360 install and check your temps not happy add rad.

    But note your generally not getting better then 10 or 5 degrees above ambient. And those 5 degrees are the difference between basic and heavy setup.
