So, I did a short test to see how the Black Ice GTX does with more fan-pressure.

Setup: Black Ice GTX 360 vs. XSPC RX360 (the RX is the polar opposite to the GTX when it comes to fin spacing).
Both rads tested with 3x Scythe Ultra Kaze @ 2500rpm. Testing method as with all the other rad tests by me, heat load @ 290W.

Temperature-difference water-ambient:

Black Ice GTX: 5.4 K
XSPC RX: 5.4 K


In my prior testing it was evident that the temperatures achieved approached very similar levels with increased fan speeds, but I didn't expect this. I still kinda hoped the Black Ice would get ahead at some point... What do you make of this?
