So i'm building a custom loop computer with a lot of white parts, and was wondering if anyone knew any good white rads? I've seen some before, but i'm looking for 360 rad and a 240. Any suggestions? Maybe I should try custom painting?

Your best bet may be to paint it, since the only white rad that I currently know of would be the Monsta 80mm thick rad from Alphacool.

no dont paint, most paints are too thick and will cause a large performance drop

 

performance PCs sells a ton of white radiators, some with painted fins and some without

the black ice rads are the best

 

if possible, go with just the painted shroud instead of the painted fins

Thanks for these answers guys, i'll take a look and the fins should be pretty well hidden, so it doesnt really matter but yeah I feel a bit more comfortable with the prepainted.

I've seen no performance drop on the rads I've been painting. But again. I did not paint the fins. I did however use actual radiator paint.

well obviously if you dont paint the fins there will be no performance drop............

 

the performance drop comes from painting fins

Yeah thanks for that, i'll definitely keep that in mind for future projects but I had no plan to paint the fins, like before they'll be well hidden :P I'll go with already painted since I'm sure I wouldn't do as great of a job.
