Do 5Bar rads cool better

[XCalinX]

Hey guys,

Im a little bit torn on radiator selection for my build. I want to know if 5 bar radiators cool betterr than standard ones. I'm not asking for what specific rad to buy, I just want to know the answer to this question.

Thanks

What's a 5bar radiator?

Never paid attention to the pressure and since most people don't, i'll take a guess and i'll say that it doesn't affect performance (but don't quote me on that)

@Lukey So doesnt affect perfirmance right? And what kind of 'faults'

No,there is nothing to gain by using them for our purposes.

 

Due to the thicker tubing,the performance would be reduced if anything.

5 bar is just how much pressure the liquid in the rad can be put under before the manufacturer expects a fault to occur somewhere on the rad, it's just a safety measure. 5 bar is a lot for a loop tbh it's about 71.5PSI.

These two reply's are your answer.

 

As for what kind of faults. The 5 bar is an acceptable pressure limit for the radiator before any damage will occur. Cracks, distortion, or in extreme case rupture.

Its manufacture sales pitch hype as you would never see that kind of pressure in any Normal PC water loop.
