hey guys,
so im planning a new build, and im having a touch choice picking my RADs... I have looked up all sorts of reviews, but am sill having a tough time choosing... i have narrowed it down to the airplex (copper + black housing), airplex (aluminum + black housing), Black Ice GTX Extreme, EK Ultimate XTX, and the XSPC RX... they all seem to have very similar performance, but i am going for low noise and high flow with good performance... the fans i will most likely use are either the low speed Cougar Vortex 120mm or AP-15s... i guess my main question is are the airplex worth the premium? they are amazing rads and i have worked with them before and i love the high flow factor, but they are also nearly $50-70 more then the others... what are your guys opinions, and experiences with these RADs?
Thank in Advance,

NOTE: i will be using one for of CL case or another, so space wont be much of an issue, but i will only be using push or pull (not both) on each rad (one 480 for CPU, Mobo, RAM, and one for GPUs)... also, i am well aware of the restriction of RAM and Mobo blocks... im much more concerned about the GPU loop, and i want my rads to match
