Anyone using XPSC RX120 rad?

I am trying to hammer down my watercooling a little more in preparation for 3 XPSC or EK 6970 blocks soon.

I want to cool my 4.8ghz 2600K on a single rad and the only single rad that looks capable is the RX120, the double thick rad from XPSC.

Does anyone run this and if so can you share a few things with me?

Cooling capacity under load?
Cooling temps at idle?
I know these are specific to case, fans, etc.. but I can atleast get a feel for what to expect.

Bonus question:
And Im not sure what nozzles are in water cooling? Are those similar to barbs?

Click to expand...

a) about 200ish watts of heat. Expect a little bit better than h70 performance.
b) Nozzles are usually for waterblocks to "jet" the flow of water such that it dislodges whatever water molecules were attached to your block.
 
Nozzles are used to accelerate the water through the block, and focus it on certain areas. You can read about different nozzle sizes that Koolance is currently trying out on their CPU-370 block to find the best size to get the best temps. Also, by focusing on different areas, it cools different areas of the block differently (albeit slightly), so on an Intel processor, you may find that different cores vary in temps up to 5 C.
 
you should be ok man. If you are going for low CFM fans I recommend the sr1 120 instead. but for higher cfm the rx120 is probably your best bet. I was running an i5 760 and gtx 570 on a single loop with a sr1 120.1 and (2) scythe gt 800rpm in push/pull. Idle on both devices was in the 20s and high 40s load. Its amazing what a small high quality rad can do. It seems nearly every watercooling build goes overboards on the rads. Imo loop layout and rad placement in terms of airflow is more important
 
the xspc is only single pass aren't they? getting a double pass rad would be better? i could be wrong. the fin spacing on the xspc made me consider this as well.
 
No, XSPC rads are double pass. The only single pass rads that I know of are the HW Labs X-flow series.
