Single 120mm Rad?

[osk.ocelot]

What is currently the best single 120m rad and fan setup?

Of all the 120mm radiators I know of and are readily available in California:
Dangerden Black Ice Pro
Dangerden Black Ice Pro X-flo
Dangerden Black Ice Extreme
Dangerden Black Ice Extreme X-flo
Thermochill Pa120.1
Thermochill He120.1
Swiftech MCR120 Quiet Power
Thermaltake Bigwater 120.1

I believe the Thermochill He120.1 is much better than the rest. However, I'd like to insight into the Dangerden series of X-flo radiators, they seem quite interesting.

The PA series is better than the HE series, unless you are running a >130cfm screamer of a fan.

You left off of your list a chevette heatercore and the Coolrads (I think) radiator.

My vote goes to the Thermochill PA series, then the BIP due to its cost.

Worth a read... but note flow rates and fan cfms (s'why the HE looks to perform so badly in that test - fan not strong enough)... PA series is better with what today's watercooler tends to choose when it comes to fans...

Any heatercore from damn near any car should work as good or better, and won't cost more then $20 bucks... Then buy some tin from Home depot, make a shroud and use whataver size fan you want. I went with a panaflow 120, because I can run it on 7-8 volts and still get enough airflow with practically no sound.
