EK or Alphacool radiator

Hi,

Setting up a new system in a Coolermaster Cosmos II of which i have stripped almost completely removing drive bays. This gives me room to mount a fan 402-404 mm tall by 180 mm wide as the 5 1/4 drive bays are clear along with the mounted factory 200mm mid level fan removed. So i was thinking of going with a 180mm double rad which is 402mmx182mm but only limited companies make 180mm rads such as EK and Alphacool the former manufactured in china which gives me pause. I have an old rx360 rad that i want to mount in the case but first must remove paint from fins i once painted on. Anyone offer advice I appreciate it,

thank you.

Alphacool over EK every single time.

I'm building a custom loop too and went with Alphacool.

Thickest radiator I could fit inside (top location) a Enthoo Luxe without modding.

More like THE best.

Alphacool radiators are very nice and well made.

Thanks for the recommendation. Going to get the 180mm Monsta if it fits in my case. Also you guys think its safe to use paint remover on an old rad that i stupidly painted the fins?!

thanks.

The end result probably wouldn't look pretty, but it should be fine.

180mm monsta! whoa. what case is that goliath going into? I have a 280mm Monsta, and I swear the thing hits WAY above its weight when it comes to cooling.
