The newer XSPC RX360 is supposed to be a match for those two mentioned above rads too. Especially at low fan speeds.
that'll change tho, once they finalise & release the PA-140.3, presuming you've got a case big enough to accomodate the thing in the first place.
lets face it other companys have caught up with thermochill now (thats why they are releasing the 140 RADs)
The main thing to remeber when buying a RAD some work better in push than pull, high or low fan speeds so choose one for the application you want.
well I'm after one for 500rpm in push+pull mode.
500rpm is very slow. Even in push pull you may need 2 360 rads if you hope to maintain this speed. It's unlikely but you may may get away with using some thicker 38mm fans.
Planning 2 or 4.
1 for each component. Just depends If I want to make the case huge for triple sli/x-fire.
Silent is more imprortant than over clocking, but still planning on a bit of overclocking.
Not buying yet, I just need to make sure when I build teh case I get all the holes in the correct place.
Excellent plan
Now the problem may be finding fans that can run as slow as 500rpm![]()
These

But they are a bit on the pricey side than a competitor.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing the final result![]()
How would I find out if teh fans are suitable?
Here's teh case thread

Intresting Idea ecat - I guess all the fans are either pushing air into the void (out the rads) or sucking air out of it (in through the rads).
Looks like a 'boxer' engine block
Try a V6 next (with just the three top fans)
