What Rad

660 Views 16 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  DK_mz
hi all i am looking for a 360mm Rad single phase somthing enough to cool a gtx 2280 and a Northbridge also.

planing to run pump-gpu-nb-rad no res instead ill use a T line

i was thingking about the black ice GT 360 , or the XSPC rs 360 wich one would be best suitable ???

if there are some better ones please mention it, i am looking to run fans at low rpm, but wouldnt mind pumping the speed up while gaming

thanks in advance

should be pump rad NB then gpu IMO. no answer for what would be the best rad for ya though any 360 rad should do though
the best thin 360 rad is the Magicool Elegant (AKA MOD) 360, if that's too expensive look for other magicool rads, they're pretty much equal to the XSPC, so just get whichever is cheaper.

If you want a thin rad get a magicool or swiftech, if you want a high perforamce rad suggest you look into Thermochill and Feser

the single row magicool Elegant (the copper plated one) actually beats the (dual row) thermochill all across the room.

also for an inexpensive cooling solution take a look at the XSPC RX360 there almost on par with Feser TFC 360 but without the big price tag.

I have never heard of the Magicool, but looking them up at Performance-PCs, they seems to be $40 cheaper than a Thermalchill or Fesser. Why the low cost if they perform so much better? (Just an open question to anyone)

Because they mark them up less

because its cheaper to produce, its just more efficient. it uses half the material, but instead of pain there's a copper plating, which turns a cunductivity reducing layer into a conductivity enhancing one.

How about a Swiftech MCR320QP-RES? It has a built in reservoir.

a nice suggestion, but a way better performing rad with the same feature is the Magicool Elegant 360.

actually i have a XSPC rx 360, and that is cooling my cpu

the thing is that my NB uses 3/8 tubing thats why i didint put the

NB nb on the same loop as the CPU

so i am going to use a second loop with a slim 360 rad that will fit where the original rad was in my case ( thermaltake kandalf lcs )

i have some converters from 1/2 to //8 so it was going to go as pump>gpu>converter>NB>converter >rad> pump no res and a T-line to input the coolant, but i might get res/pump combo

I have been doing some reading about the MCR320 & it seems that's a radiator that's been designed for low CFM cooling. That might be your best choice if that's what your looking for.
