Hello. I'm after some advice regarding which 120.3 radiator to go with - either

or

Is the Thermalchill really worth paying nearly double for?

I plan to be watercooling the CPU, GPU and NB.

Thanks.

Thermochill > any other rad on the market.

I went through 3 dif. rads before seeing the light and getting a thermochill.

best rads on the market

If you have space for it, its the best.

I have a Thermochill 120.3 and a Black ICE GT Stealth 240 XFlow Double Radiator. The cooling is simply fantastic!

It depends on your perspective. In terms of the extra performance per £, an accoutnant would say they are not worth it.

However, if dropping the temperature of your system by another couple of degrees (or more)_is worth the extra deniro, you'd be better off spending the cash.

I would. But then I like watercooling.

I think the if if fits analogy is definitely relevant. Thermochill rads have unique* screw positions and are longer/deeper than most rads.

This can prove challenging, especially if you have seen a case that looks ideal for a rad but then you find your PA just won't fit the holes. And most cases with precut or potentially good spots for rads just don't fit the thermochills, not even the 120.2's
