Is this rad worth the extra $10?

So I'm picking between this:
XSPC 2x120mm EX240 Multiport Radiator - $48
and this:
Swiftech MCR220-QP Quiet Power 2X120mm Radiator - Matte Black - $38

Do you think the XSPC is worth the extra $10?

Thanks smile.gif .

Yes.

I've used 2 XSPC rads and both have been amazing, I'm ordering that multiport 240 for my 690. I do not know how Swiftech is, I've only used them for pumps.

yes, ive had both (still got the swiftech and sold the ex) and moved to the rx. started with the 220
and didn't really have control of loaded temperatures. steady LinX or prim95 testing showed a
flux of 8°-12° using yate loon fans. an even swap of radiator to the ex240 and the temps were 2°
lower and steady (2°-4°) using a D5 in stock trim and same fans. since moved to the rx and
have a 5° drop with AP-15 and dead-on temps (no swing).

swiftech mrc-220 a=26° load 49°-60° delta 34°
xspc ex240 a=25° load 53°-57° delta 32°
xspc rx240 a=28° load 54° delta 26°
