Old school DD cooling cube

[robble]

I have a danger den cooling cube that fits in many cases and also a super cube that I'm currently using externally. Anyone had experience with the cubes and some of the more modern radiators? would there be any reason to replace them? Are the newer radiators better somehow? I'll be cooling an o/c opty 165 and possibly a gpu or two

Falls into what classes as the condenser style radiators... same as the AC Evos...

The Aqua Computer Evo radiators are coiled copper tubing designs. They are used most frequently in conditions that require high pressures, such as refrigeration condensors. While the coiled tube is great for operating well under low-flow conditions, it is bulky and consumes up a lot of the body of the finned area in comparison to a heater-core style radiator. Additionally, the spacing between the tubes and the fins in the coiled tube radiators makes for a less than optimal setup with respect to the conduction distance.

I suppose a good analogy is that while the looping tube style radiators are good for liquid-metal heat transfer, they are generally far less efficient at metal-air heat transfer when given the same space and size constraints.
