is this a good rad??

 

[wheth4400]

I used it back in the day on my Phenom II 940 and it actually did quite well.

do you think it will be good for me??

If you want to use high speed fans it is a good radiator. If you want to use low speed fans get the XSPC RX240 or the HWLabs SR-1 240

how many cfm fan??

 

[charliehorse55]

Depends, I'd say 70+ CFM fans for the Black Ice GTX. It's not actually about CFM, it's about static pressure. Of course the two are interlinked, but there are variations.

It's a high fin per inch rad so you'll want decent cfm 120x38mm fans on it for the higher static pressure that fat fans have.

These are decent...Pana 120 x 38mm Medium Speed Case Fan 87CFM 36dBA at SVC.com

These are what I use for rad fans...Pana 115cfm

The GTS is a pretty flow restrictive rad, I'd only use it if I just had to have a real skinny rad that still cools well.

A old BIX would cool about the same using the above fans..Black Ice XtremeIII Radiator ..They have 240's there also.

What all are you putting on your rad? I'd do a 240 for just CPU and a 360 is your adding or might add a GPU to it later on.

just cpu

 

[charliehorse55]

A single GTX120 radiator would easily handle his CPU IF he put some high performance fans onto it.

I already have this rad. would it benefit me more if i change to Swiftech MCR320?
Will be using Arctic Cooling F12 fan. Before this using CM R4 2000rpm fan pair with this rad.
