Planing to build my first custom loop in Evolv X case and need help to choose front rad. I want to go with triple 140 fans so 420mm rad. Due to space restrictions I narrowed it down to 2 rads:
XSPC EX420 and EK-CoolStream SE 420 Which one would perform better?
Thanks.
 
I've read it all - only one person using front 420 rad and it's an ekwb ce420 which is 45mm thick and I don't think my pump/rez combo would fit if I'll use ce420. Everyone else in that thread using either 360 rads or AIO's.

Hey dude what did you decide?
I’m doing a evolve X build and am thinking of putting a 420 in the front also but was thinking a black ice radiator.

I went with XSPC XE420, but I haven't build it yet - my fittings and tubes got lost in the post :( Black Ice Nemesis won't fit, it's too wide, unless you can get "L" series nemesis which is narrower

Oh that is disappointing, sorry to hear about the post! I’ll have to have a think. 1x 360 black ice would it fit in front or too thick?
Or just the single 420 instead of 2 360

Black Ice Nemesis GRS 360 will fit in front as its 398mm x 133mm x 29.6mm (L x W x H), but I personaly prefer 280 up top and 420 in the front

Finally finished mine. It's not perfect, but I think for a complete noob my first custom loop turned out ok. Now have to leaktest and blitz it. Fingers crossed it won't leak.
