Good brands of radiators?

Hi there,

 

I'm new to the whole custom water cooling deal, and I've been looking around to find the most trusted brands I can. The one thing I haven't been able to find much on is radiator brands. Is this because they all perform similarly or something like that? Or do I just have to search harder? If you could list maybe one or two brands that are well-known and trustworthy for their radiators, that would be great. 

 

Thanks!

I used an Alphacool XT45 and I'm very happy with it, heard nice things about EK rads.

All rad manufacturing are standard nowadays, I would be searching on rad thickness and FPI more.

|EVGA 850 P2| |1440p PG279Q| |X570 Aorus Extreme| |Ryzen 9 3950x WC| |FE 2080Ti WC| |TridentZ Neo 64GB| |Samsung 970 EVO M.2 1TB x3| 

 |Logitech G900| |K70 Cherry MX Speed|  |Logitech Z906 |  |HD650|  |CaseLabs SMA8 (one of the last ones made)|

XSPC, Alphacool, Hardware Labs, EK.

 

Focus on the features that fit your case and budget: low or high fpi, thick or thin, 120mm or 140mm.
