Real life performance difference between radiators?

[Johnmakuta]

What is the real life performance difference between:

• monsta radiators V.S. regular
• 120mm fans V.S. 140mm V.S. 180mm
• 3x radiators V.S. 2x radiators
• multiple small radiators V.S. Single large radiators

well its kinda hard cause the use depends on the space/budget, in an ideal world we would all use multiple 480mm monsta radiators to get as much surface area as possible.

 

I guess its only a few degrees at best but it really is a case by case basis

Theres way to many variables to determine this

Ambient temp

type of case

amount of airflow in the room/case

more surface area = better.

Thats the answer.

360mm Radiator will do a hell of a lot better than a 120mm rad

Thats all you need to know.

As mentioned in very general terms more surface area is better but for rads 120mm and 140mm tend to have the best selection of pressure optimized fans and longer rads always do better than a bunch of shorter ones linked together or a shorter thicker one.
