I think the last one is fairly common, its basically a 3x120mm radiator with uv reactive paint (never a good idea, paint usually isnt conductive), but whats the point of the first one? Are you supposed to use that when you want to get a quad core to like 6ghz or something?

That 120.9 is pointless, having even low CFM fans on it would be loud.

I like that 120.4 though, might be easier to mount on a smaller case than the traditional long 120.4s you could put it on the side panel or something

I think the 120.9 is for those that want to use their rigs as a bragging point.

Only thing I wonder, what size pump would you need for the .9, I cant believe that it is not going to impede flow in some dramatic way.

Two in, two out. I guess for multiple loops.

Actually, I'm not intimidated, I would laugh hysterically for about 20 mins, ask how much they paid for it and repeat.

I actually LOL'd at that. I do see your point, it is WAY overkill for anything.

I thought the same. It looks silly as hell to me still though.

Build a case cube out of it. 1 on top, 1 on bottom, 2 on sides. The ultimate overkill in water cooling
Actually its looks like just 3x 120.3's stuck together. The connections must be on the other side of the unit.

I'm curious... Is there a point of diminishing returns with a radiator? How can 9x120mm be excessive when people are building quad stage cascade phase-change systems to cool their CPU to below -100°C? Either its more efficent or its not. Loud, yes, but then so is a phase change system.

LOL. that, starting to get a little retarded though.... Although, there we messloads of industrial AC fans you could throw as that thing to keep it quite... but man. . . And here I find a 120.3 to be almost too big....

I could see it being used on maybe a large loop in a server, though not worth it for home use as water can only be cooled so much with normal air.
