Watercooling Radiators

[xCarne_Asada]

Which would you get the Black Ice 2 that has 3/8" fittings, and supports dual 120mm fans

or

Danger Den Super Cube 3/8"or 1/2" fittings with one 120mm

I am looking for better cooling, sound doesnt bother me either.

I would use the (super) cube with 2 YS-tech fans- one pushing air through and one on the other side pulling air out

[fatshlink]

the super cube has 1/2 fittings but 1/4 tubing

I'd go with the Blackice II with 1/2" fittings. It's at least equal to the Cube but takes up less case space. For fans, Panaflo H1A or U1A for best airflow.

voodoo- you bring up a good point about case space, I'm rather used to my fulltower and forgot most people have mids =P. I would like to see how all these radiators do against one another.

Procooling.com did a review of several radiators fairly recently. You might want to check it out.

I am going to be picking up a Lian-Pc 70 Full Tower Case, so i dont think space will be a problem

I think you can order them. I ordered my Blackice with 1/2" fittings. If you can't, it might be good to look into it if it's important to you.

where did you order yours from?

[Voodoo Rufus]

I ordered mine from overclock-watercool. I didn't see the 1/2" mod on their website for the blackice II yet, but I think it's worth looking into.

thanks

don't believe everything you read, particularly from vendors

http://www.ecom-answers.com/dissipation vs flow.jpg

the above with air flow set at a static backpressure of 0.05 in.H2O
(the complete article should be up in a week or so)

be cool

EDIT: Correction, should be Btus/hr

[xCarne_Asada]

does anyone know about the new Black Ice model that is comming out soon.

[Voodoo Rufus]

What new radiators? All I know of is Blackice I and II.

[xCarne_Asada]

There is like a black ice xtreme or something. I saw it at oc-watercooling

[Voodoo Rufus]

That's just a modded Blackice. As far as I can tell the best waterblocks are the Swiftech MCW-462 and Danger Den Maze 2

[xCarne_Asada]

what's a good block? Is the Z4 better than the maze 2.
