will there really be that much of a performace increase from 2x 120mm's on a single pushpul to 4x 120mm on a double pushpul...i mean you can only get so close to ambient...and u need a more powerful pump to accomodate it...which means more heat added to the water
 
ive got a nissian heatercore.. thats duel 120mm fans (and a bit wider) with dence fins a about 3" thick though it does have very few passes and has a 15mm width piping ...

if you do want a big heatercore though.. find a space first. i have to mount my heatercore on top of my lian li case beacuse its just too dammed huge.
 
it depends on how much heat your system puts out . bigger will deal with higher loads better so if your way OCd and are running cpu NB vid card all on water it will probly help a lot

Innovatek one, to me, has the greatest look. Plus it shroud your two fans. You can even have 4 fans in push pull configuration if you want. It's working fine in my case. I just don't know if it's a good one. But I just love it :p

These probably don't out preform a HC and are probably FAR more expensive.

K im fairly new to w/c i dont have my rig up yet im going to order and still full of questions im trying to get answered... i keep hearing that a Heater Core with a Shroud is better than a normal radiator like a BIX II. What exactly is the difference between a heater core and a radiator? To me it just sounds that heater cores are like ripped off cars or something.
Basically what im looking for is a Heater Core i guess since its better that supports 4 fans in 2 push and 2 pull action 120mm. My thing is since i THINK heater cores are just ripped from cars how big are the ends of them do they need modifying so i can put a tube over them?
