im learning all i can about the dozens of dozens of radiators out there that i am looking into for my upcomming water for my near silent i7 loop. so as the title says, will the upcomming 140.2pa be suited for a silent setup with lets say gentle typhoon fans?

for all who have been reading my previous threads regarding the gelids vs typhoons, im getting little to no data or information on the gelids so i need to work with what i know will work. so if you have any info or experience let me know!

i think so cause all the pa's are used for silent wc so it hink they work with gentle typhoons and as i said i think.

PA has around 12FPI, XSPC has 8FPI and Swiftech has around 15FPI

XSPC is your best bet for fans under 1100 RPM!!(best silence)

Also, GET THE TYPHOON!

Note: Get a triple rad if you can

Uh, guys.

The 140.2 is a radiator designed for 140mm fans, the Gentle Typhoon comes in a 120mm size only.

 

[Nick911]

I think he has a typo?

i learned something new... im sorry for being such a noob.

so the 140.x rads are thicker and are meant for larger fans? i thougt it was just the size on the sides..

 

[meticadpa]

Hehe.

Look there, it should explain everything.

The 140 in the name stands for the size of the fan needed, and the number after the decimal point is for how many fans can be used at one. So, the 140.3 uses 3 140mm fans, if you follow me.

The 120.3 uses 3 120mm fans.

But a a shroud that converts 120mm fans to 140mm hole coupled with a 140mm rad would provide better temps than a 120mm rad with 120mm fans and a shroud.

But once you start adding shrouds and fans in, youre gonna have a thick ass radiator

 

[chobes]

so what is THE best rad for typhoons and a silent build? im pulling my hair out deciding because of so many options and opinions with people telling me to change the fans for deltas and or jet loud fans which is not what i asked at all..

 

[meticadpa]

I'm no expert on water cooling, but I'd have to say either a Thermochill 120.3 or an XSPC RX360 would be your best bet.

Or the PA120.2 or the RX240.

This review pretty much sums up all the low speed fan radiators.
