Monsta 120mm vs UT60 140mm

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi everyone! wave2.gif

I am going to be embarking on a new ITX project using the Fractal Node 304 case. Since this case only has a single 120/140mm fan vent (and I'm not entirely interested in outfitting the front with a dual 80mm rad), my choices come down to either:

Alphacool NexXxos Monsta Single 120mm
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16235/ex-rad-409/Alphacool_NexXxoS_Monsta_Single_120mm_Radiator_-_80mm_Thick.html

or

Alphacool NexXxos UT60 Single 140mm
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16824/ex-rad-425/Alphacool_NexXxoS_UT60_Full_Copper_Single_140mm_Radiator.html?tl=g30c95s929

If going with the Monsta 120mm, I would be using AP-15's in push/pull. With the UT60 140mm, I am looking at picking up a pair of Bgears B-Blasters in push/pull. Ideally, I would like to pick up a Monsta 140mm, but that has yet to be realized. redface.gif

For the purposes of cooling a 3570K and a single GTX 670, which of the two would be the better choice?

Thanks in advance as always! thumb.gif

The 140mm UT60 w/o a doubt. Thicker radiators are no replacement for more frontal surface area.

I figured as much. Unless a 140mm Monsta is in the works and officially releasing soon, it looks like the UT60 is what I will be ordering later tonight. Thank you! thumb.gif
