For chipset cooling, MCW30 or MCW-NBMAX?
I'm asking cause I will order my w/c system from sidewinder and they haven't got the MCW30 only NBMAX.
I've heard that MCW30 is very good.. Is the NBMAX will perform as good as MCW30?

is this for the commando the nbmax is for the rfII style boards
after what I have heard the nbmax is good.
I have owned the MCW30, and I could recommend it any day

kk, I gotta think about the NB cooling if It's worth for me.

Besides, http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/t...-radi1203.html Should I get it for my rad? I'd like to hear people expriences with/without shrouds.. Will it reduce my temps * noise(most important thing)? I will be using Panaflo 120x38 1700RPM.

just some cheap 25mm thick fan and gut them. does the same thing but cheaper. if you dont want to get a nb block get some ting like a hr05

I just saw ira-k's review with / without shrounds on his GTX480 and I think It's not worth 22$ I better get some NB block with that money.

3 FANS in Push or Pull will be enough for PA120.3? I won't get shrouds cause It's over my budget and I will have to give up about Chipset block for it.

3x http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/pa12ulqu.html

or

3x http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/scsf49cfms12.html (Preferable)

If these S-Flex are really bad for radiators then I will go with the Panaflo... Silence

I would go for the Panaflo's if I where you, its better to have some static pressure and good airflow. If you think 30db is to much, get a fancontroller later

I've got a MFC1 Zalman fan controller uhm okay.
Someone told me that with 120x38mm fans I will really need shrouds, is it really nescessary?

I think IMHO, it is not necessary to put some shrouds since they already have good static pressure. But I am no expert, I am just sharing my thought

the thing with 38mm thick fans is that you dont need fans!

With 25mm to get the best performance, you need shrouds, but with 38mm you can run extremely well without shrouds!
