140 or 120

[TheNinjaNextDor]

My PC was looking a little empty and I got some money for the month (yay) so I think I might want to put in a 140 or 120mm rad in the back of my R4. I only have the stock R4 fan if I go 140, but I feel like that would be more worth my effort. I have a GT with a stripped screw on my rad from another build, so I can try and rip that off if I do 120. Also, what thickness could I fit if I have a 240 in the top? I was thinking only 30 or maybe 45 with the 120mm fan.

 

Thanks.

well you can just do what i did with my R4 , and put the fans on the outside for the top meaning you can have a thicker rad

If you feel you must, go for it but it won't make any difference to temperatures, especially since you'll be going with a 30mm thick radiator. If it looks better though, go for it! I'd definitely go for a 120mm radiator as the selection of fans is much broader.

It would look better, but not even a little difference?

Maybe 1 or 2 degrees. What sized radiators do you already have? It will make a larger difference if you don't have very much radiator surface area to begin with, but if you already have 4x120mm or more of radiator space, I don't think you'll see any noticeable difference in temperature.

I have a 360 that is 60mm thick and a 240 that is 30mm thick.

Yeah...you definitely wont see any difference with those sized radiators, that's a really nice set up, and unless you feel you have to for aesthetics, there wouldn't be much point in it.

Thanks! I'll think about it, but probably not do it
