2x 60mm 360 Rads VS 2x 40mm 480mm Rads


Hey there im just trying to choose between these 2 Rads;

i will be water cooling my RAM,CPU and 2xGPU's in an Enthoo Primo i will be getting 2x of either one of these Rads and i just wanted to ask which one would you have gone for? and would you go with a Push/Pull config? (if i go the 40mm 480 road i probably wont do push/pull)

Those are two fairly different as fin density and sizes go for rads but if you are trying to go for maximum performance using push and pull I believe they will be fairly closely matched since the Alphacool 360mm UT60 is thicker but has a smaller fin density while the XSPC AX480 is long it also has the advantage of double stocked fins to aid in extra cooling. I think the dual AX480 will out perform the alphacool using higher speed pressure fans but will be more noisy compared to the UT 60 which may get very similar performance with less noise. If you can I suggest to get the alphacool rads due to silence which I personally find to be a large factor in computer cooling.
