Best Radiator with Fans 2013

[Ulijin]

hey ulijin i just need to overclock my cpu with the most safe voltage and overclock a little bit my gpu as well .. and the only only thing i do is play BF3 and now play BF4 and the next thing i do is render videos in song vegas. And THATS IT ! . so tell me if i can achieve this ting little task with a silent rig , yes personally i do prefer silent rig but to do my task that is play bf3 or bf4 with maximum fps and to get that even silent rigs will work then i am fine with that.

For what you're doing you'll be fine running silent.

There's a good roundup of 360 rads here:
http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=173028

In my humble opinion: for your 360 in the roof if you want it to slot in and be pull only then pick between these 2:
XSPC RX 360
Alphacool NexXxos UT60 Full Copper

If you're willing to do some modification, I went for the "Alphacool Monsta 360" and would suggest it again.

If you want to go push pull you should probably try this radiator:
Alphacool NexXxos XT45 Full Copper 360.

For the floor you can pick any 240mm rad without any issues unless you need the additional drive cages. Might I suggest an Alphacool Monsta 240mm...

Cheers,
Ulijin.

ok i am convinced with XSPC RX360 and its performance is good as well .. my only question left is whether this rad will fit in nzxt 810 without any modding coz as i see its too thick .. and i have 0 skill with moddings ..

and hopefully the corsair sp120 quiet edition will do a great job isnt ?

360 in the roof of a switch 810/20 is simple. I had one in the front and the top. Very little in terms of gruntwork was needed. Its also available in a few colours so thats even better. Unlike the 900d I suggested earlier

 

[NeverBackDown]

Which SP120s are you talking about? PEs or QEs?

I have the Quiet Editions and they're silent for me, and I'm massively picky when it comes to fans and noise...

QE's. Sorry should have pointed that out in the last post. At 12v they aren't loud but noticeable but easily drowned out by GPU fans or audio. 7v they are silent though.

 

[younus1932]

so for quite and for performance shall i go for the 7v or 12v ?

 

[NeverBackDown]

Quite and performance? Depending on how many rads you have other than the 360 you will be able to run fans slower... go for the Corsair SP120 QE and just run them at 7v.

Put the XSPC RX360 in the roof and for more cooling power put a RX240 in the bottom and you can run all fans at 7v.

I was going to get the Alphacool for my build but I got the Phobya G-Changer V2 480mm Quad Radiator and the G-Changer 360 V2 Full Copper as they are the same apart from 2 less ports and they where cheaper,as for fans ill be running in push only the corsair SP 120 Quiet editions 1450 rpms.

Run them at 7v.. Loud at 12v(for me at least).

 

[SparkleDJackson]

at 7v the corsairs are mystically quiet and thats a good radiator also. i have 2 of the 360 version. just be careful when screwing the fans in the wee plate that stops you screwing in too far is very small and if the hole isnt perfectly straight it can miss and puncture a tube. this almost happened to me but i checked just before it started hitting a fin

 

[younus1932]

sparkle which 360 radiator are you talking about .. the xspc one ? .. coz i am going to install them so i want to be extra careful before i install them .. thanks

 

[NeverBackDown]

When screwing the screws into the fans into the radiators just check to make sure as you're screwing that the screws are not touching the fins on the radiator. Sorry for saying screw a lot but i couldn't think of any other verb for it

 

[clone38]

You sure I have gentle tyhoons running at 1850 push pull on my corsair H80 and I find them quiet.

Running at a full 12v? Either way it's all preference.

 

[clone38]

Yeh full 12v.

 

[NoPrisoners]

I've got 3000rpm GTs (the black ones). The only annoying thing about them is I had to rewire the connectors to 3 pin from molex. They move a lot of air when needed to, but when running at 6v via the aquero 5 I can't hear them. It's all subjective really though, depends on everyone's different hearing.

 

[younus1932]
