Radiator

[JasonLavender]

Does anyone have any radiator recommendations? I am building a custom loop. Thanks!

The size and thickness of a radiator really depends on what you plan to cool with the loop ( Just CPU, CPU+GPU(s) ). What are you planning to cool?

Some good brands are Alpahcool, EKWB and Hardware labs, it just depends on what your application is and what hardware your cooling.

NZXT just released a pretty cool new series of radiators, the Kraken X42, 52 and 62.

Oops, sorry my brain is really tired and I really should be going to bed

I am cooling cpu + 2 gpus. I am looking for maximum performance.

[Himommies]

a 360 minum but I would recommend a 2 240 or a 4 120s or 1 480

you want a total of 360mm of rads. also the thicker they are the better.

Thank you!

You will want at least 120mm of rad space per component plug an extra 120mm space so a 480mm worth of rad space is good, but more is ideal if your planning for dead silent cooling while at load. It just depends what you can fit in your case, but for silence also you will want to look for lower FPI rads since it doesn't require running the fans at a higher RPM.

Hey guys, I have a question: Which is better? Thermaltake Water Ultimate 3.0 360 RGB or Corsair H115i?

The EK XLC unit for sure would beat out the other two with the larger and thicker rad not to mention better pump. 

 

Also just a note but please make separate threads for this unless it ties back to the original post.
