Thermochill PA140.X (For use with 140mm Fans) Voice Your Opinion!

[ramenchef]

Looking at the potential heat output of the R600 cards, I'd get one. If they really do draw 270ish watts on stock, imagine overclocking a pair of these things. Plus quiet is always better.

Sounds like a good idea. Mmm...140mm fans.

I think it's a good idea, but I would not get one personally.


I wouldn't get one as much as I would like to. I see no reason for it. I only put my cpu under water. Any triple fan'd radiator with 70 cfm fans is already good enough for a single cpu. The biggest problem is mounting it, where would I mount the sucker. It might be the greatest for temps, but I would probably have to mount it on the upper portion of my sidepanel and I own a big case (lian li pc73 slb). It won't fit up on top where I have my old radiator with a custom shroud and plenarium. I would have to mount it under the the frame to put it in up there and get rid of the chamber. I might switch from my bix 3 to a swiftech but other than that I don't see myself changing radiators($).

That being said I wouldn't mind owning a pa 140/x I think they are awsome, unfortunately they just don't fit my need. I would probably have to spend about 400 dollars to put one in a case. I would have to buy the case and the pa. I just don't see that happening.


edit
I take some of it back. I would be able to fit in my case by putting the fans before the radiator. So the cost would just be the radiator+ redoing the plenarium.

If it would perform at the same level as a PA120.3, or if a PA140.3 were to perform better then the 120.3, and it was reasonably a little more then the PA120.3, then I would def. pick one up as it would fit snug in my Stacker.
