    Water Cooling Resevoirs

    Hi all,

    Which is the best 240 radiator on the market apart from the thermochill PA120.2??

    Also is there a performance difference between taller and shorter (like the GTS & GTX Black Ice) rads??

    Is BlackIce's Xflow better than dual pass??

    Any of these any good?

    If you have the cash and the space, definitely go for the Thermochill.

    Apart from cooling better that the rest, you can use pretty low powered fans to get slightly better results than you would get using higher powered fans on other makes of radiator.

    If you want reservoirs, I have 2x brand new swiftech micro reses sealed, and 2x EK multi option reses, used once, but too big for where they needed to go

    I made a mistake in the title, supposed to be Water Cooling Radiators

    I dont think I have enough room for the Thermochill so trying to find an alternative.

    Re: Water Cooling Resevoirs

    I have the older HE120.3 and it rocks even at low rpms. Can you not survive with a PA 120.1 or the larger PA 160 ???

    Re: Water Cooling Resevoirs

    Its the depth of the PA series that is the issue.

    Are the swiftechs better performers than the Black Ice GTS?? Im just water cooling the CPU.
    Anyone know anything about the Aqua-Computer rads?
