Radiator / Fan

[TrueChaos]

Hey,

Im looking at two possible radiators right now, the BIack Ice Extreme, and the Black Ice Pro.

I do want to have a fairly quiet machine, so the fan that I will be using will be rated somewhere between 50cfm and 75cfm.

I know, that under high CFM, the BIX wins hands down. But at the cfm level I will have, which will be better?

All thats in my loop is an RBX on my cpu.

Thanks,
-Cameron

The BIX with a midrange single fan can be misleading. It has higher airflow resistance than the pro, due to its thickness. The Pro is a good choice unless you are going with big fans (100+) cfm.

For the cfm you want to run the very best Rad. is the thermochill PA-160 its larger than a normal 120 if you have room this is the rad for you. 2 would cool most anything

Just what id hoped to hear. Cheeper, and with quieter fans, better performing.
