I'll be getting a single fan raidiator sometime in the future and I'm just curious as to which one is the best.
Thanks.

RIG RIDER said:I've got a few questions for you.
What do you mean by the best?
The best cost?
The best performance?
The best bang for your buck?
The best low noise/high performance rad?
What are you going to cool with it?
Do you plan on upgrading you cooling once you get into water?
If you can answer some of these questions a lot more folks will chime in and respond to you question with answers.
My personal opinion is the Black Ice Pro for low noise and low cost if I only cooled my CPU. Check my SIG for my current cooling setup.
I would suggest you get at least a 120x2 radiator for upgrades, and for low noise due to the ability to run low db/low cfm fans on a large radiator with great temps.

it was originally meant for a quite system but out preforms all other radiators at each respective size up to about 130 cfm
here is what mine looks like in my antec mid size tower

voigts said:Wrong. The best single fan radiator is the Thermochill PA160. It performs almost on par with a dual 120mm rad and works well with low cfm fans also.
