Best thin rad

[Guest nightowl21]

Which of these is best? Needs to fit in the front of a Corsair air 540.

Out of those choice, in terms of performance I'd venture to say that you'll get the best performance (marginally) with either the Swiftech XP for high fpi or the Alphacool ST30 for low fpi.

 

You can even have a XT45 or UT60 in the front of the 540 AIR. I'd go with one of those if they're an option (GPU length permitting of course).

I want to fit a 240mm or 280mm on the top too so I don't know about the UT60, but thanks for the suggestion of the XT45. Also, I'm using this rig for both work and play so it will have an Asus X99-E WS motherboard and eitther a Titan, a 980 or dual 970's in SLI but I don't know if a small liquid cooling loop will handle the titan or dual 970's.

My dual 970's are only getting mid to high 30s under water. High 60s on air, so a xt45 in the front with a st30 in the top should be ok.

Best would xt45 and a ut60 both 280's.

Thanks. Judging from other builds I've seen I can probably fit a 280 and a 360, one being an xt45 and the top one being a ut60 but that might be too thick.

A UT60 in the top will be really tight with the 8-pin power. Some XT45's would be fine.
