Are these radiators any good? I would like to grab one since they are around $40.

They work pretty well.
I have one for my Q6700; at 1.5 volts, 3.7 ghz, it keeps my idle at around 45-45 idle, and 60-65 under load. It is great for a budget build, but for multi-block loops it is not very good.

Thanks, just looking to cool a single Q6600.. Been using two garbage thermaltake 120's for a while now. Going to a new case and need something that I can mount on the back as one complete unit.
__________________And yes, budget is the key... They are the same 120's that come with the old bigwater systems.

What temps are you getting? Definatly a step up from your current rads im sure. for the price thats a decent triple rad.

__________________They are single 120's that I have in sequence using tubes. At a solid 1.42 volts on the vcore, clocked at 3.44ghz. I get around 38C at idle, and 72C with heavy loading using OCCT.

I will be ecstatic if it drops me 10 celcius... It is warm in this room most of the time, around 24celcius ambient on average.
__________________My pump is a bit older as well, but it's still kicking. I'm not looking for miracles here, just need something that I can mount on the back. But if I get a performance increase in heat transfer... well thats a big bonus. This quad needs over 1.5 volts to hit 3.6ghz... Actually it will go a bit higher, but the heat is ridiculous.

They are good radiators, similiar in performance to other slim style rads like the MCR series. I don't have one, but I've seen some testing comparisons and they look like a good option.
