So, I've been reading some radiator round ups (from HESmelaugh for instance) and it would certainly appear that the GTS is an impressive radiator. Is there any particular reason why not to go for it? I have some Sharkoon 2000rpm fans to go on it, which will be on a fan controller, but the radiator does very well, especially considering its size, against the Thermochill and XSPC RX. I'd also guess that having one radiator (GTS) in push-pull would produce better dT's at high RPM than the Thermochill or RX with single fans in push (I only have ~90-100mm room, so the TC and RX are too thick to do with 2 fans, whereas the GTS can take 2 with a little room to spare)?
 
I'm a little rusty with rads but the thinner parts perform better with raw cfm than the thicker ones, however I'm unsure if it would outperform a thicker rad. Push pull with Xilence red wings at 1500rpm had no effect on my temps with an RS120 which is a very similar rad albeit, a single rather than a double
 
The numbers speak for themselves as far as performance goes:

Clicky

Fan stacking is based on this article. Two fans on one rad appears to beat the single rad with single fans by quite some margin.

Hi, using a BI GT Sleath 360 + x3 Vipers cooling a i7920 at 4.2GHz + GTX470 at 850:1700:2000, living room ambient temp reached 23'c with the cen-heating on this winter the Boss feeling the cold lol. My PC at idle core temps were about 33'c > 37'c > +/-1'c fans about 1025rpm, ran P95 for an hour and dont forget l'm cooling a 470 at idle it reached 41'c. So at the end of the day the GTS 360, l can't complain so after that gamed for a while agood half hour temps never reached 70'c and the 470 peaked at about 52'c. :)

P95 > 1hr

Cool. Literally. Suits me fine :D.

I'll be trying something a little different, but in much the same style.
