BIP vs BIX

Seanohue · 11-07-05, 09:32 PM

What could I expect going from a BIPII to a BIXII with 2 100+ CFM fans? or would i be better off upgrading from a DD CSP-MAG12 pump to a D5?

I'm guessing you have your video card and your cpu water cooled. You would probably benefit from the BIX2.

IMO upgrading your pump will make for a better upgrade. While those mag12 pumps are ok pumps they don't even compare to the D5. The added flow will help your temps much better than the little amount of thickness difference of the BIP to BIX.

sound logical to me too...I'd upgrade the pump first...I think the much better flow would help more than slightly better heat transfer

Yeah the pump upgrade is the way to go IMO... the BIX won't do THAT much better unless you put some serious fannage on it, 130CFM+ or so...
