Does anyone make a white 240 radiator? Are they all just black? I'm planning on doing a Frost Case and need a white radiator.
 
It would make sense for them to be in black, it radiates better than white. You could spray paint one, but I'm not sure what that would do for actually working as a radiator with all that paint on it.
 
yeah, I deff. wouldn't paint it

maybe make some sort of white grate/cover to go over one?
 
The Fins Can be black, I just need the outside to be white.
and I agree about the paint. I just didn't know if someone made a white radiator

There is nothing wrong with spray painting radiators. Just cover the fins and you're good to go.

I know you said 240, but frozencpu has a 360 white feser...

Well I'm Planning on mounting on the back of the NZXT Panzerbox case, I was just going to do a dual but do you think a triple rad would fit on the back?
 
holy crap!
I just looked at that rad...

Linky

also, does swiftec make a 1366 version of THIS

Wow, need some good fans for that. Looks like overkill to me, plus the $280 price tag.

Watch out for condensation.

That monster version would definitely stick up, this one might hide in line with the case:

(it's 16" long and the panzerbox is 18" tall)

Much Better!

Now I'm a complete noob to water cooling, What fans should I pair with this... I'm wanting a pretty quiet system. And should I use a shroud? ( That I can Paint :) )

I DO NOT want any 38mm (width) fans...Unless they are Super Quiet... I have a 120x38 Panaflo and that thing is like a vacuum cleaner

Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850s.. just under volt them if you think they're too loud.
 
great, Also Should I mount them between the case and rad blowing back? probobaly with a spacer and shroud? im a little worried of the PSU's exhaust hitting it even though i'm going to be using an X-750.

Edit: Also This is my first Watercooling Project... Would this be enough to get an I7 (or Possibly an I5 ) to 4+Ghz? I'm really looking to be as quiet as possible while doing it.

ninja edit: also how is the performance of that triple rad above ( the white one) I still want great performance, its not all about looks. ( i would rather have a thinner one but I don't know too much about the performance. I'm an engineering major so you can give me the dirty details just present it kindly ;)

hah! im 30 cr. away from an eng-physics bs myself :p

here's a decent radiator review:

I'm also building my first water loop right now so can't help with some of your ?'s, but check out the noctua fans they're not all hype. I'm planning to cool my i7 and 280 gtx with a similar rad (it's in the mail).
 
as for fans... are the Scythe SY1225SL12M (slipstream 1200) better or those gentle typhoons?

slipstreams(1200rpm) : 24 dBA
GentleTyphoon(1700rpm): 13 dBA

LOL, I guess I answered my own question with a little research there. any I idea how they increased CFM and RPM's while halving the noise output?

and awesome site entropist, had a look around XS as well...

The GT's are considered one of the best noise to cfm ratio fans for radiators due to the static pressure.
 
Ok, so that brings me to having a triple rad and 3x120mm 1700rpm Scythe Gentle Typhoons.

I am extremely new to commercilized watercooling so what are the best CPU blocks on the market I can pair with this? I am only planning to WC my CPU to start as its easier but I want growing room for the NB later. I'm planning on an I7 build but am beginning to lean more towards the I5's because the mobos are a MUCH better value ( more features, less cost )

I may in the future add a second loop for my GPU. the rad for it will be at the top of the Panzerbox.

What are the current Block Choices that would pair well with this rad setup?

Edit: + I am trying to get an I5 or I7 920 (930), above 4Ghz, would this be sufficent?

The GT's are actually 1850 not 1700.

Best CPU block on the market is the Apogee XT with the Heatkiller 3.0 as a close second.
