yes, by a fair bit. if you keep fans at comparable speeds youll get lower temps or you can have the same temps but way quiter.So I'm thinking about switching my current system to a slightly larger case that can accommodate a 280 mm. Is a 280mm better than a 240mm? just wondering since I already have a 240 rad and fans.
Thanks!
you can do the math. a 280 is much closer to a 360 in performance than a 240 is to a 280. yes a higher fpi, thicker or dual pass/x-flow rads will add to cooling.In case no one has actual experience or numbers to share; I would suspect just going from 240 to 280 will have very little performance gains. Maybe going to a higher fpi count and a better sp fan in addition to the new radiator might make it a solid upgrade though.
Fwiw, my reply wasn’t intended as a direct response to yours, you just got to the post button before me. I had no intention to troll.you can do the math. a 280 is much closer to a 360 in performance than a 240 is to a 280. yes a higher fpi, thicker or dual pass/x-flow rads will add to cooling.
pendragon1 thanks for the reply too! sorry didnt mean to neglect youyoure welcome...
you can buy sp140 fans but if your happy stick with what ya got.
140x140 = 19,600 x 2 = 39,200you can do the math. a 280 is much closer to a 360 in performance than a 240 is to a 280. yes a higher fpi, thicker or dual pass/x-flow rads will add to cooling.
