Getting new mobo in tomorrow and redoing wc'ing. I have the MCR220 Rad and the Thermaltake 120x2 Rad that came w/ the Big Water 745 i used to use. http://www.thermaltake.com/product/L...6/cl-w0076.asp
So i was wondering which one should I use. Sound is not a factor just temps. I have 2x110CFM pushing and 2x80CFM fans pulling on whichever Rad I choose. I have E6750 (3.7ghx) & 8600GT (overclocked) in the loop so there is a good deal of heatdump. What do you think.

P.S. Thanks guys for putting up with me. Im doing a new build and although i have a good deal of experience im always a double checker. I try to answer other peoples questions but you always beat me to it (;

Swiftech, without a doubt.

Swiftech. There's no contest.

alright koool good to know. Just wasnt sure cause the thermaltake has the aluminum circular tubes and all that nice stuff that looks like it would dissipate heat better but guess not. Thermaltake never had a good rep. with me so all i needed to hear is one swiftech and im going swiftech. Thanks

"all that nice stuff" = galvanic corrosion with aluminum. aluminum is one of the worst things to introduce into your loop.

lol good point. the little bit of aluminum in the GPU cooler wont effect much right? Its just large bodies of metal like rads

afzsom

Any amount of aluminum will cause corrosion. The degree of corrosion depends on the amount of aluminum. Best to keep your loop free and clear of aluminum if you intend on using copper. There's no harm in running an all-aluminum loop. There's no harm in running an all copper loop, either. Just don't mix the two.

QFT. You should get that aluminum out ASAP, even a small amount in a block is enough to destroy your loop.

The radiators that thermaltake uses are oil cooler style; they've never been preferred regarding watercooling. It's a complete mystery why thermaltake uses them.
