Better Rad?

What could I expect to get better temps with this heatercore or this radiator? I plan on using these fans . I would be getting 6 fans for the BIP III or 4 fans (intake/exhaust) for the heatercore.
 
Give us more info on your set up. The rad is only one player in the team.
 
In the loop is a TDX block for my CPU (check sig) and also there is a Maze 4 for my 7800gtx.
 
I think this Thermochill would outperform either of your choices.
Coupled with the shroud and a single 120mm fan (Panaflo?) you'd be saving space and lowering noise.

Thats a little expensive for my taste try to keep it within the prices of the other two.

The six fans you specced come to $72 PLUS $45 for the rad.
The Thermochill, one fan and the shroud (highly recommended, BTW) is just about the same.
Better performance in a smaller, quieter package.

no need for push-pull fans, and since you're looking at a triple already, three yate loon fans and a fan controller would be an excellent bet for good cooling and low noise.

push-pull actually gives worse cooling per noise than a single side of fans moving comperable air. you should only be going for push-pull if you want more cooling/airflow than you can get with fans on one side.
