need good radiators

[Guest]

I am planning to make a custom loop in my case, and want to get two 280mm radiators for the system. Does anyone have any suggestions for good radiators?

Thermaltake Core V21, Gigabyte AB350m Gaming 3, Ryzen 1700X, and MIS GTX 1070 Aero 8GB OC Edition. I will be cooling the CPU and GPU

a single 280x60mm could do the job, but you do not have that option.

it looks like a 280x45 in the roof and 280x30 on the side is what is allowed. dual 280 in the roof is not possible.

for ease of use, the dual 240x45 in the roof looks to be an easier build.

the alphacool XT45 series is a good start/choice. copper/brass material

im orienting them sideways, so room should be an issue. side rad mounting is my goal as well.

I like the Black Ice GTS series. Slim but decent performing and they look much nicer than the blocky style imo.

I too have the Black Ice GTS rads in my loop, 360mm and 280mm.  Both are great and are slimmer than most. Plus the tanks where the fittings go are shorter so it makes it easier for my case to hold them.  Only real problem with my case and these rads, the screws are thicker then most. I had to drill my case in the front just to make the 280mm fit in my Define R5.
