Yup, both the rad and the fans are larger than normal. I ended up mounting my fans on the outside with some grills and my rad on the inside.

Im mounting this setup in either the cosmos s or the acts 840, so it should allow enough space for the build. tight fit maybe.

I still stand by my statement of not going BI GTX if you want Silent cooling, or quiet, if you do go that route you will be missing out on performance for if you have a different rad..Look at this graph.

573 Watts load



289 Watt load

Even at 2000rpm the Thermochill is better. So there you go. Look how the GTX perfoms against other rads at lower rpm..not very great.

The only time the Thermochill beats out the BI GTX that is worth mentioning is when you use 800 RPM fans. 1200 RPM fans, especially panaflos at 1200 RPM are dead quiet. Still no reason to go thermochill unless you wanna sacrifice the extra headroom for a degree or two difference when running at low speed.

I can't find the graphs but someone here (or maybe it as another site) did a comparion (I think it was martin) against a bunch of radiators. The BI GTX took the cake. The numbers are different than those graphs I think.

At 289w load it beats it at all rpm but is equal at 2000. No performance will be sacrifices as he wants a silent pc as it is, anything over 2000rpm is pretty loud, imo, so if he isnt going to go high speed fans, why settle for a rad which COULD perform better when using high speed fans, when you plan to run a silent rig.

Like I said, according to those graphs. I recall reading something different from some other tests that were done with a larger selection of radiators (wish I could find them) which is why I originally went with the GTX to begin with.

Edit:

So. i spend some time looking at different sites that puts radiators against each other at high and low rpms.

Conclussion: RX360 beats GTX360 at RPM's below 1200. and does so with quite a margin actually. Also its cheaper than the GTX360. As mentioned earlier i need acceptable cooling for a 3.8-4GHz on a 920 D0 and 2 HD5850's, and i believe that the xspc can give me that. Thank you for your great and fast replys everyone.
