    SR1 or GTX Extreme?

    so im going to be changing it up from my 480feser rad to a 240 rad here soon. will be using mid speed triebwerk fans in push/pull. im thinking sr1 but with fans in push/pull the gtx should work fine aswell.

    thanks.

    Since you're in push+pull, GTX.

    Srry for the offtopic, but if i have a push/pull config with AP-15 at 1000 rpms should perform better the gtx than the sr1 with the same fans config?

    Too close to notice the difference, probably. But I'd think GTX would be slightly better.

    Sorry to thread hijack, which do you guys think would be better for 1500RPM Gelid Wing fans?

    inb4 matt recommends thermochill again, i'm not paying nearly 2x the price for thermochill!

    SR1 only really excels at sub 1000 RPM levels from Skinnee's tests, FWIW.

    Thermochill phil. Thermochill.

    You want something with higher FPI for mid range fans, especially if you're 24/7 overclocked and folding.
    HWL GT Xtreme is 20fpi, and koolance are 30 and thin awesome for push pull.

    I have a GTX240 and a SR1-560. The SR1 has Gentle Typhoon AP13 fans in pull where my GTX as AP-15's in push pull. The performance between these two setup's is similar.

    SR1's are optimized for low speed fans (600-800 rpm). Higher then that and other rad's perform better with the GTX being king with high speed fans. In the medium speed fan market most of the rad's are similar in performance.

    Given availibility and price the GTX is the clear choice over Thermochill.
