Which 120.4 rad?

primer · 10-07-2009, 04:09 PM

Thinking of getting a 120.4 rad with Scythe GT 50cmf fans but undecided of which one to get - Feser, TC or XSPC. They all seems to be very close of each other. Have TJ07 case. Cheers

Don't forget about the new Swiftech 420.

Yes, and the new Magicool 420 D Radiator.

Feser, TC, XSPC, Swiftech (MCR) all do well with GT-type fans, so you're good there. Size wise (big to small) it would go the order I listed, with Swiftech being the only "thin" rad. Same goes with price order. If you're in tight depth contraints, go MCR. If you want hardcore performance, go TC. Bling would be TC. XSPC is in the middle. Don't let any of these descriptions make you think one featured characteristic is worse on all the others though. If you're budget minded or won't overclock too hard, go Swiftech and save the dough. In my opinion, Feser is too overpriced for its performance/size.

If you want to get nit-picky, check out Skinee's "radiator roundup" and other radiator reviews for comparable performance.

Koolance Radiator, 4x120mm... they seem to be the cheapest

would getting 4.something out of a core i7 920 be considered light overclocking

?

koolance copper rads are 30 fpi and require some ridiculous fans to perform

Size wise would be OK. Would fit nicely in my TJ07. Feser seems to be cheaper than TC and XSPC here in oz.
