hardware radiators gts vs gtx

[gampla]

what series is better gt stealth or gt xtreme both with 2 noctua nf-f12 pwm

 

gts 240

 

for those to lasy to look on like the rad specs are

 

Width 133 mm

Height 277 mm

Thickness 29.60 mm

 

with 30 fpi

 

vs

 

gtx 240

 

Width 133 mm

Height 277 mm

Thickness 54 mm

 

20 fpi

gtx gets my vote.

[nsyedhasan]

I'd say the GTX 240.

[Mixzzz]

Well GTX will be much better than GTS because its 2x thicker...

[AlwaysFSX]

Well I'd think the GTX because it has a greater surface area allowing more heat to be dissipated? 

[Ghost]

Noctua's are made to be generally used at low RPM as they undervolt very well. As the GTX has lower FPI then it's made for lower RPM fans.

 

So the GTX would be better for the noctuas.

 

Also the GTX is quite clearly better than the GTS. To quote the manufactuer:

 

 

GTX Yields up to 45% more heat exchange capacity than the Black Ice® Xtreme in both Stealth or Performance modes.

do you not have the SR1 240 available? would be a better choice over the others

when using low fan speed fans.

 im only say these two as one is less than 30mm and the other one is less than 60mm ie if thiner with a high performance fans vs a thicker with a better airflow

you are only seeing the thickness, the fpi has a lot to do with it as well.

 

it is a combination of things you have to look at to determine the best radiator for the rig.

one is 30mm and high FPI, other is thick and medium fpi, i suggested a thick and low fpi.

 

and since you used the NF-F12 as the base fan, we would assume you are looking for

low speed performance. so that's rule out the GTS. the GTX would fair well, but temps

would be higher than what would consider normal. just because of the 1500rpm max

rpm speed.

nah im saying this about most radiators eg xspc ax vs rs vs ex or alphacool ut vs st vs xt all im asking is what series it better in th comunity

a thick, low fin-per inch is best solution. provides best thermal performance using

low fan speeds (600-1200rpm) for quietness.

 

my experiences using the Alphacool, XSPC RX, HardwareLabs SR1, EK XT/XTX,

Coolgate, Phobya X-Changer pretty much give those attributes of performance cooling

and quietness of fan speeds.
