Radiators Query

3 x 120mm (360mm) radiator 

 

or

 

2 x 140mm (280mm radiator

 

Its a generalised question and not for all in ones.

The 360mm rad would give better performance if they are the same thickness, and usually have a better selection of pressure optimized fans

 

Is it worth the extra cost then?

Depending on where you get them but they aren't that big in price difference after the initial cost of a single rad space, usually dual and triple rads tend to a good spot in terms of overall cost and value.

Right for instance I just ordered 2 Darkside rads 1 360mm was about $60 and a 240mm was about $50 as you can see the price difference wasn't much but price to performance the 360mm is obviously better.
