I'm confused, you asked if it performs better but then you say you know it cools better.

Other than having a more powerful pump, LED lights and thicker rad not too much, it's incremental change physically, there will be a new piece of software for it which helps monitor control and graph temps and gives fine tuning if your interested in that. If you haven't already Linus and Slick made a video on it:

Yea im just tring to decide if I would build my own loop since I saved some money on my build or get a kraken x61 for the cpu and a kraken g10 coupled with another kraken x61 on the bottom of my case...building loops is alot of maintenance and upkeep along with cost...sorry about the confusing question I didn't mean to confuse anyone.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

So whats the best 420/360 radiator for the custom loop?

If you want a 360mm large rad swiftech makes a H320 which allows for expansion at a later date which is a similar product to their H220 or Coolermaster Glacier.

I'm actually thinking about building a custom water cooler...I wonder how much space I have at the top of the Enthoo Pro case?

 

The top can fit up to a 420mm rad and the top and the front is 240mm but could be pushed further with some modding.
