Just a quick question on radiators...

[atocp]

I have decided as i have room for 5 single 120mm radiators in my case, im going to get possibly 3. But the question is this:

Thermochill at the moment for the PA 120.1 is around £45. And the Swiftech MRC120 is around £18. In all fairness...is the thermochill radiator really worth the 27 pound difference? I know thermochill are meant to be the cream of the crop when it comes to their radiators, but will i notice a difference between 3 Swiftech radiators....and 2 (as that is all i'd be willing to buy) thermochill radiators.

Again, muchas gracias for the helpo
Merry Christmas & Happy new year

I don't see the point in adding 5 radiators in a loop though, you will be better off with less but more large ones.

Two PA120.1's will be more restrictive than a single PA120.2, even though Thermochill radiators are the least restrictive radiators on the market pretty much.

i dont intend on putting in 5 single radiators, i just dont have room for one double. And i have a fan already built into the top of the case by design. So i can use that and the one that is at the back. While having the option to put in another somewhere else if need be.
What im wanting to understand is, would 3 swiftech's be better than 2 thermochills? Taking into account the water flow restrictions as well as heat. I would imagine that adding another radiator, no matter what brand would have a benificial effect, but is adding 3 (3 maximum) still efficient enough over the two more expensive ones?

Thanks for the help again Mekrel, Santas looking favourably on you!
