The Thermochill HE120.2 rad any good ? Did a search on the forum but didn't turn up much.

I'm possibly looking to combine one of these with 4x Silverstone 110CFM fans and the shroud in push pull config.

Would I have problems turning down the fan speeds with a controller, as the website suggests these radiators for 100+ CFM fans only.

They look mean enough to cool my setup, and anything I throw at it in the future.

Cheers for any help,

Personally think its the best out there :)

Think that you can get one with a shroud built on

Stelly
 
The fact that the company do nothing but Rads (and 1 res, I think) amazes me :)

Anyone else have any suggestions ? any reasons why I couldn't go with the PA120.2 instead ? Or the HE the best money can buy ????
 
^^ True.

Marci told me that the PA series perform the same if not better using quiet fans rather than high speed ones.

The HE series use high speed/powerful fans to really show its performance.
 
So the revised opinion is that the PA120.2 > HE120.2.

Interesting.

Starting to spec up and price up a custom w/c kit with a new case to fit it all in :D

MUCH FUN :)
 
The PA Series replaced the HE Series as the fins in the rad are a lot less denser.
Therefore, you dont need high CFM Fans to push air thru to cool it.
;)
 
at around 100+ CFM, i think the HE performs better than the PA series... below that, its in reverse... the HE is very much reliant on static pressure too, so 38mm deep fans perform best...
 
"After many months of number crunching and testing the final spec for the PA120 series was decided upon. This final design showed a vast improvement over the HE Series... by a significant margin when it came to silent fans. Additional testing confirmed that this margin applied not only to silent fans but to regular and higher airflow fans, up to a 130cfm (approximately) point.

The final spec was slightly "outside-the-box" when it came to regular Radiator construction, thus weeks of tooling changes ensued before the new series could be commerically released to retail. Which brings us to the present day...

The PA120 radiator series features a dual-row dual-pass 120mm form factor, available in single, double and triple sizes, optimised for the fans of today and putting into practice everything learned about watercooling efficiency and performance over the past 3 years. The PA Series boasts from 10-40% better performance over the HE Series. 10% for the high / noisy airflow end of the fan market, and up to 40% for the low airflow / silence end of the market.

What does this mean to you as an end-user? You can retain the same performance for even less noise, or better performance for the same noise over your current radiator. If at the end of the day performance is all that matters to you and noise is of no concern, the new PA Series still offers significant improvements over the HE series. Alternately if silence is the goal, you can now have that too, but with more cooling performance than ever before!"
