Lol it isn't even close as well.

 

 

Not only does a 420 mm rad have 40% more surface area over a 360, but it also uses fans that can blow up to 2x the amount of air at the same noise.

 

Hell similar thickness 280mm rads often out-preform 360 rads for that reason.

Thanks for the quick reply! You guys are awsome.  :D

 

Althought i raised another question: 3x140mm fans fit in the front of the Define s. But in the specifications listed at the website there is no support for a 420 radiator in the front. Is this because of the tubing sticking out? Is it possible if i mod the case without changing the aesthetics at the outside? Has anyone done it before?
