Details:
• High Performance XSPC Copper Radiator

• Polished Chromed Shroud
• 1/4" Thread

only thing diffrent is my barbs go on the end not on the side

does eney one no of a better one

Undeniably, the best rads are made by Thermochill. The main advantage, is that you can use them with low powered fans and still get better temps than you would do with high powered fans on lesser rads.

right well im looking into a new pump first then if that dont sort my flow ill go new rad

Hi death
The XSPC rads are top performers but do require a decent flow rate for maxium cooling.

Thermochill are good rads designed by cathay but they also carry a heavy price tag. What pump are you using atm ?

In certain bench tests the Triple XSPC rad beat the the thermochill, Whether this was carried out using exactly the same methods for each rad i am not sure.

Stick with the XSPC rad death.

well at the mo im runing to a dcc and my Eheim 1250 im thinking of getting a single rad to add on as im cooling q6600 at 3.7ghz 1.58 vcore and my gtx and on full load im hitting 77 and i can feel my fans are chucking out warm air on full load and cold air when not on load

what fans are you using ? also are they pulling or pushing. From the temps your getting i'd say you have a problem somewhere. Having a dual loop with certainly help with your temps.

What blocks are you using

scan have some resonable rads.
got a tripple a few weeks ago. then decided to just put it out side of my windows in a bucket of water. now i get 19*c idle all the time.
i can push a 4.7ghz overclock anytime i want, and adding ice dont really do much because its allready so cold.

wicked m8 i had some thing before but it started killing my rad + it would only last about 5 hours for me +it was not out side so if i could do that i would be buzzing

well i use hose pipe so i can close the window as much as possible without restricting the flow much, and using a household radiator pump helps somewhat. im still qurious as to weather i could increase the diamiter of my pipes up to 1inch aand still keep an effective flow through.

also having the pipe out side allows for easy access to the hose pipe, so i can just quickley swap the return pipe and have fresh water running to my cpu from the tap bit of a waste, but bloody cold at this time of year.
