I would go for the mcr320. It's smaller, cheaper, and nearly matches the performance of the rx360. I don't think the extra performance and space taken up by the rx360 justifies the extra cost.
Swifty MCR320 or XSPC RX360?

yeah I do plan to get a dual when I cool the GPUs. What fans would you guys suggest for both of these RADS? If i go with the MCR320 that gives me a little more cash for a fan controller etc..In the long run I'm looking for the best bang for the buck and performs well and quiet!

I don't think either RX360 or mcr320 will be able to handle 2 gpu's + cpu, you may want to invest in a second (dual?) radiator. or if you have space, buy both and use the mcr320 for GPUs and the RX360 for CPUs. the MCR320 is a single pass, whereas the RX360 is a dual pass. It is the best performing radiator for its price, in the low-cfm dual-pass division. |

XSPC with lower cfm fans

You can't beat the price/performance of the mcr320. I would suggest some medium speed yate loons to go with it

. Goodluck on your decision cheers!

nope, both are dual pass... the RX is 3 rows of tubes versus the single row on the MCR320. RX is triple row dual pass, MCR is single row dual pass. Performance is about equal over 1400RPM, with the RX having the advantage at slower fan speeds. Either way you're going to get a good radiator.

I was loiking at the loons too low mid or high rpm types for the yate loons?

Yes you can, but go with high with a fan control is better. If you need to cool the cpu more you just turn it up.

skinnie on your rad you said you use the loons, what speed?

depends on the radiator and which machine.

I have Yate Low, Medium and High's floating around the lab and attached to radiators. I personally like the mediums, good air flow and low noise.
