I have two radiators here and I'm wondering now which one i should put into my water cooling system for my FX 60 with agopgee GT waterblock. I tried the blackice but i don't know, i think it could have performed a lot better. The swiftech one looks kinda cheap and really skinny and the Hardware Labs one is sturdy and really thick. Both of them are dual fans 120mm. Swiftech 220 and the blackice gtx xtreme 240. Logically from what i know the swiftech won't really need as much air being pushed through since its so skinny right?(If so maybe thats why the radiator performs cheaply for me) If i get really good fans that push air through the blackice will it perform better and cool better than the swiftech?

PS: What 120mm fans should i get for best performance?

Thanks :)

Yate Loons are relatively cheap, and the model you choose depends on how silent you want them to be.

If you have both radiators, you can always hook them up in series. =)

Also, if you're having problems pushing through the Black Ice radiators, why not pull air through them instead?

I say, sell all the radiators you have, and buy a thermochill pa 120.2
