best 480 Rad

[Zankza]

with my upcoming fun project. I need some help choosing best stuffs.

I need best performance 480(120.4) radiator,(as in most cold).

I will be using strong fans(noise donts matter for me)

So which one is best bang for buck, and along quality/long term usage.

Thank you for your time.

Black Ice® GTX Gen Two Xtreme 480 Highest Performance Radiator


$132.95 Model: GTX480
Product Details:

Hardware Labs Performance Systems introduces the next step in the Black Ice® GT revolution -the Black Ice® GTX.

The all new Black Ice® GTX platform possesses twice the waterside surface area of the Black Ice GTS and features a unique front to rear coolant flow dual-core configuration, This design innovation maximizes heat transfer and increases internal flow rates by as much as 30%.

Moreover, the Black Ice® GTX also features an optimized iteration of the high flow next generation MaxFin® 25 micron splitter-fin design allowing for maximum fin surface area while minimizing air pressure drop. At 20 fins per inch, the Black Ice GTX is engineered for use with low-speed/low-noise fans providing optimal cooling and comfort.

The Black Ice® GTX radiators are available in single 120mm fan GTX120, dual fan GTX240, triple fan GTX360, and in the monolithic quad-fan GTX480 configurations.

Features:

• Two-pass pre-cool/aftercool front-rear dual-core flow configuration with a 30% increase in internal flow rates.
• Custom MaxFin™ 25 micron Copper Splitter Fin Configuration utilizing 45% thinner fin material yielding up to 50% less pressure drop.
• Unique fin configuration eliminates intra-louver accumulation of dust particles for trouble free operation.
• Radically optimized 20 FPI (Fins Per Inch) fin density providing dramatically increased heat transfer surface area.
• Custom low-profile 2-row 19.0 x 1.2mm MaxFlow™ tubes with twice the waterside surface area of the GTS and 60% frontal area reduction for superior low air-resistance aerodynamics and lower internal flow requirements.
• Yields up to 45% more heat exchange capacity than the Black Ice® Xtreme in both Stealth or Performance modes.
• Achieves Black Ice® Xtreme level performance in stealth mode (low-noise/low-airflow conditions).
• M4 Threaded Screw Holes for easier mounting and greater adaptability.
• Now standard G 1/4" female threaded fittings.
• Full high-temper brass structural construction for weight reduction and superior corrosion resistance.
• High performance compact radiator compatible as an upgrade to the Black Ice® Xtreme and most 120mm form factor radiators.
• Uses 100% Non-corrosive water-soluble fluxing process.
• Fully RoHS compliant.
• Full electrostatic polyurethane painting finish for uniform coating with high temperature curing for increased finish durability.
• Renowned Black Ice® quality.
• Patent Pending Design.

yeah i found thermachill stuffs, um can you post the source link ? not copy and pasting stuffs?

[Drdeath]

The guys at Sidewinder are awesome. I buy most of my stuff there. They are based out of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Intersting. about 600$ for 4 rads, the custom case 1.3k, and 600$ 252-cfm fans, about 2.5k Should be intersting project. =)

We demand photos!

[Zankza]

I wont start on the project, not until next summer for sure.

Waiting for lga 2011, and whatever else stuffs, plus the current 3k i have is going go for laptop, so im going have to save up again.

I have 1 thing to say......BULLDOZER!

[Zankza]

yeah well im intel and nvidia boy =)

[Drdeath]

yeah well im intel and nvidia boy =)

I am going to be a switch hitter...... No comments from the peanut gallery please!

[Deton]

few comments;

what are you trying to cool with 4 quad rads?

Thermochill TA and Black Ice rads are diffinitely high performance rads but not the best bang for buck one.

All rads will last you a long time as long you don't puchure the tubes or abuse it.

[Doctor_Death]

He doesn't need 4 quad rads, by the way what happend to the photos of the 990X rig you were building for your mom's friend ?

[Zankza]

Of course quad 480 is overkill, so what lol.

And what do you mean by wrong tubes? they can damage rads? o.o

and so your saying i can get better at 600$?

and drdeath, it's still here, just waiting for 590 to arrive =)
