Which is better? Or ex360 since it has a bigger rad?

Which is better? Or ex360 since it has a bigger rad?

 

AX240 = 120 x 240 x 35 = 10.080.000

 

EX280 = 140 x 280 x 30 = 11.760.000

 

EX360 = 120 x 360 x 30 = 12.960.000

 

Based on total radiator surface area, the EX360 would be the best in this case. I took a bit of the thickness off the rads and put the L X W at their actual 120 x 120 dimensions. XSPC includes the radiator shroud in their calculations, it's misleading.

 

Others factors that also matter: good static pressure fans and fins per inch. These rads have roughly the same fins per inch and provided you uses similar fans the calculations above still paint an accurate picture.

The EX series doesnt have a shroud like the AX series does so those numbers are wrong. Plus the EX series has a split fin design with favours the higher static pressure low RPM fans as I have seen. The AX series is slightly thicker but it does have a shroud over the rad it's self so that is why it's thicker. Out of the 3 dads you have picked I would choose the 360 as it's a bigger rad then the 280 then the 240. The reason I chose that order is surface area
