    All things being equal, (same ambient), I was 2-3C better with the MCR320 over the RS360. But the paint finish on the XSPC was not very good. Chipped off in two places and scraped, straight from the box. The construction was poor, (tank end - where the sides wrap over), causing one of the fan mount holes to be 2mm away from where it should be. As they use 4mm bolts, not enough wiggle to get a fit, so I had to start filing the fan mounting holes to get a fan on there. So, in my experience, (and even factoring in the fact that the XSPC is cheaper), I have to say that I've not been impressed with XSPC rads. Very similar experience with the RS240. I won't be purchasing any more XSPC rads.

    Then I must have been lucky with the quality of my RS360.
