I bought this rad recently out of recommendation from a very seasoned WC'er.

Read online that this is a pretty decent rad but I think I overplayed slightly. Would like to know if anyone else is using or has used this paticular radiator previously and how does it compare with say the Alphacool UT60 and XSPC RX240.

Paid USD90, has 1yr 1-1 exchange "warranty" where I am tho. So I don't mind that much(I actually do mind quite abit cos someone else was selling for USD65! But would have to ship back to EK..:'C)

Everything is overpriced where I am. Hence I'd like to know how does the XT240 perform in other's eyes compared with the likes of similar rads(UT60 etc.)

both the UT60 and RX are 60mm thick radiators as the XT is only 47mm thick, so

does it had the same potential? NO. prolly the XT45 240 is similar in performance

as the XT 240. the XTX is 64mm thick and is on par with the UT60 and RX.

 

yes someone did get to you on the pricing of that rad, but no sense it pitching it

or what-not, use it and learn from what had happened. usually check with the

h2o section and they can guide you on level pricing, but always include your

location, can be a nightmare just because (as you have noted).

Yeah, I'm gonna make use of this rad since I've already had it. I'm located in Singapore.
