120 or 140mm rad question

[Butterfish]

Hey everyone,

 

In my case (Fractal Arc Midi R2) i have support for a 120/140 rad in the front. The questions comes down to choosing whether to go with a 120mm or 140mm radiator in the front? I know that a lot of the good fans for watercooling are currently only 120mm. But i would like your opinions. Also, would it be easier to sell it if its 120 since its kinda like the standard size?

 

Thx in advance

120mm if you already have a decent bit of rad space

280MM up front and a 360 up top

I'd rather put a 240mm rad in the front.

Depends on pricing of the rad and fans.

I think 140mm rads have a bigger dead spot in the centre as well so performance wise it may actually not make a difference.

I'd go with 120mm unless you want to go for a dead silent build with low FPI rads and want a little extra performance. But if you wanted t build you are probab better off with a define series case and a 120mm rad.
