How is this external rad?

[Air tree]

Well i was looking for a external rad and i found this: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/19807/ex-rad-595/Watercool_MO-RA3_360_PRO_9_x_120mm_4_x_180mm_Extreme_Radiator_-_Black_Powder_Coat_25020.html#blank So how does it look overall? It's large enough. I will either mount it on my wall or desk.

If you don't mind having tube running in and out of your PC, go for it
Get some good silent fans and run them undervolted so they're super silent

it frickin' huge. i finally had to mount mine in the basement (great that the tube run

was less than 6feet from PC) got kinda loud with 9 NF-F12 fans @ 100%. bought

another 9 NF-F12 and ran at 60%. if i were going to do an external anything, it'd

be a chiller (no rads/fans) and relocate in the basement. simple D5, blocks and

chiller on QDC fittings. buy the fans first before the rad, run them to find out if you

will stand the noise, i couldn't. zip-tie them together in 3 runs of three. use a PSU

molex lead to power them and test out your threshold. if it works out, you already

have the fans, if it doesn't work out, easier to sell fans than a barely used 1080 MORA.

 

and decide on location of unit, this will be something to plan for on tube runs and unit

stability.
