MCR320
32T
360 GTS

I just want to know which one will give me the best performance, i.e. which will dissipate the most wattage when I crank up my 150cfm deltas. Restriction wise I think they are about the same w/ the gts being a little bit more than the mcr320. Price wise they are all about the same.

MCR320 gets my vote. That is the only other Rad I would use if I didn't use the Thermochill.

I would have to go with the MCR320, its the second best 3x120mm rad i think besides the expensive thermochill.

I was going to go for the mcr320 at first but then looking around I saw some people mention that with 90+ cfm fans the gts will start to outperform the mcr320. At lower cfm fans though the mcr320 is better. I this this is also due to the fin density of the gts being ~30 FPI and the mcr being ~12 FPI. I just see alot people recommending the mcr b/c its performance with low cfm fans but I'm just not sure how well it would do with higher cfm fans like the ones I have.

mcr320. The only sug. I would make is. Do some research on this but I believe that the mcr320 will not perform any better when fed more than 60 or 70 cfm. In which caser you could go with some more quite fans like the yate loons @ xoxide for like 3.99 I think they are 70 cfm at like 25 db. Your ears will thank you........ I used cool a q6600, chipset and a 8800 Ultra and my system was no louder than a whisper.

Well, I have my deltas undervolted so right now they dont make as much noise (full blast theyre around 50dba :eek: ). I'd say they still push a fair amount of air undervolted, probably ~80cfm or so. The only thing I want is to get that extra performance when I run them at full blast, like during gaming or benching.

Well, I found somewhat of a comparison between these rads. Seems like the gts isnt that bad in performance. Its too bad they only use low cfm fans to test though. I think ideally I would just get the 32t but its sold out everywhere...probably for this reason.
