Hi guys, i will soon be rebuilding my rig into a new case, Lian Li PC-P50B Armoursuit from my awful 4 year old TT Armour. When i do this i am also going to swap the radiator but am undecided which to go with. My radiator is external and mounted on a windowsill in a radbox so that i get nice cool outside air through it so size does'nt matter. I currently have a Alphacool NexXxos Extreme lll which has coped very well but due to fin density (20FPI) needs high speed fans to get the best from it. Currently i have three Xinruillian 0.4A beasties and they are quite noisy. I will be swapping to three Yate Loon D12SL-12D 120x120x38mm fans on a fan controller. These spin at 1350rpm and pull 48CFM but i will be looking at running them as quiet as possible. I have three rads in mind:-
XSPC RX360 - size 410x125x58.5mm - 8FPI
Thermochill PA 120.3 - Size 430x128x61mm - 10FPI
Feser 360 - size 440x150x75mm - ??FPI.
Current rad= Alphacool NexXxos Extreme lll - size 415x135x46mm - 20FPI.
I have seen reviews comparing the RX360 and PA120.3 and there is little between them but can find nothing on the Feser 360. I imagine the three of them are all around the same when it comes to flow restriction and will all be extremely low. I don't know the fin density of the Feser either. I am leaning more to the Thermochill PA120.3 with the new 15mm fin spacing. I am not looking for a big performance increase but for quieter running. Any reduction in temps will be a bonus. Which one would you guys go for and any particular reason why?
The rest of the loop consist's of:-
Aquaextreme 50z pump
Aquaextreme MP-05 Pro limited edition CPU block
Aquaextreme MP-1 GPU block
XSPC Delta NB block
XSPC 250mm passive res
7/16" tubing.
I am not changing any of the blocks as they are still more than capable of handling my rig. Sorry for the essay but i wanted to give you all the info you could need. Thanks for any help.
