Can someone tell me the ABSOLUTE BEST 360mm rad out there for the LOWEST temps? I have 6 90cfm yate's with shrouds on an rs360, and would like to know what rad to buy with income tax money. Also, with the switch, how much difference do you think I could see?
Check out this review, he was not impressed with the black ice. Think I'm just gonna pick up the rx of my rad and call it a day. May switch out the pump too, as I think this one doesn't move much water at all.
if you change pumps get the 355 or 655 and get the xspc bay so you have a easy res/pump combo. Im happy with my rx360 keeps gpu and cpu really cool on linx/ibt i only hit 71c and gpu never passes 40c.
Below 1000RPM, Magicool Elegant Slim. 1000-1500RPM, most radiators will perform very similar to each other, so it would come down to quality, in which case the recent Thermochill TA series wins (it's also the least restrictive). Over 1500RPM, Black Ice GTX.

I hear the TA series still has its quirks, just like the PA series did.
In my opinion, the best overall 360 rad is the xspc rx360.

The only thing actually wrong with it is the fan/mount holes, which are being worked on, and that that they removed one of the tubes from the left side, which lowered its thermal performance just a tad compared to the PA series. Otherwise it is better.
The HWLabs GTX 360 is still probably the best. The Feser Monsta Lite is a 140mm x 360mm, but is designed to work with 120mm fans too... however, I don't know how it stacks up against the GTX 360.
To my knowldge, the PA 120.3 is the next best triple, but it looses to the GTX 360 with high speed fans.
AHHHH, ok ok now I get it. I thought it was just the the 720 pump/res I have, as it's all sealed together. OK, I'm actually gonna pick up the gtx Xtreme rad, and the xspc dual res, with the mcp655 variable. Thanks for the help guys.
I still have to give my hat to Swiftech for doing so well with the MCR series, especially if you like the really silent fan speeds and hands down if you start comparing benefit/cost ratios.
I have a TFC480ER and a HWlabs480GTX, but I've since tuned my fans down to sub 1000RPMs, so I'm not really optimal in my rad selection anymore (especially with the gtx). For really slow speeds the MCR series or HWlabs SR1 are really strong. RX is good too, but not quite as optimal.
As usual, each one is slightly tuned for different fans.
