80mm Rad vs 60mm Rad

Is there much of a performance and noise difference between Alphacools Nexxos Monsta and ut60 radiators?

 

I am trying to shave some money off of my system and I just would like to know if it is worth it for the 80mm version.

 

Thanks :3

well then you could also use st30's and still get nice temps ^^

But i'd say UT60 cause it shaves money and space over the monsta.

Edit: Unless you don't care about the extra money and have the space to waste, then monsta :P

And  the Primo has all the space in the world!!

even with 3 780s it'll be enough.

Note that you should be running the monsta (and even the UT60) in push pull. But if you do that you can have pretty low fan speeds on both. So it basically depends on your wallet.

Simple. The Monsta's need push/pull, the UT60's don't (with some good static pressure fans). The UT60 is a good sweet spot and up to 1400RPM you can even get the same performance out of the XT45 (heat dissipation of about 210W). You'll be golden for all your current and future needs with 480 + 360 UT60's.
