hi guys i am going to be getting a water cooling loop in january and im looking at differemt rads avaiable and i was just wondering if a thermochill PA160 with a 14cm fan would cool my 8800GTS and my E6600 @ 3.4

Yes, but you'd be better off getting the PA120.2

I'd go for the 120.2 if you are cooling cpu and gpu

As suggested above the 120.2 would be a better option

As you move closer to the 160mm fan size that the PA160 takes, you actually match the PA120.2 performance (Source: Marci), not sure where a 140mm fan would place the PA160 in terms of performance as all the technical data provided by Thermochill are based upon 120mm fans.

I'd choose out of the 2 based on which one is going to fit in a case better.
Some cases will work better with one than the other, depends how you are happy to mount the rad.

2x pa160.1 = pa120.3

A pa120.2 would be a good option

thanks for your replys guys, i am looking at ease of mounting the rads cause if i use a PA120.2 im gonna have to take out my hdd cages in my V2000 but if i use a PA160 i can take one out and still have the rest of the drives in the other, does anyone know of any 16cm fans?
