    Serial do you have a PA120.3? Have you tested rads yourself?

    I dont feel like quoting cause I am tired but to whoever said that the PA series are better with anything less then 130 CFM... you are wrong... before you go and make up numbers please just back up and think for a minute. Tests done by BillA, Marci ect... show that around the 70-90 CFM mark All the top contenders close the gap on the PA series. Below 50 CFM however... nothing can touch the PA series rads.

    And to whoever said Marci posted an extensive review... this does not include th e GTX series as of yet AFAIK. I will search into this as it has been a month or so since I have been reading regularly on here.

    What it comes down to is if you want the "Best" get a PA series rad. If you are using 100+ CFM fans then the GTX series are an option. If you want silence then get a PA. I went with a GTX based on size alone... pic below will show why.



    A thermochill would not fit in there lol. BTW I am using Panaflo's FBA12G12U's @ 7v in push pull...

    No but what I meant was, do you think the barbs affect the rad's performance more than the rad itself? If so then people wouldn't be buying better rads, they would be buying better barbs (which doesn't make that much sense lol).

    I seriously doubt the barbs are affecting the over all performance of the rad.

    Exactly, that guy was saying the testing was biased because it was done with different barbs....
