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
 
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.

How would I make the Black Ice 2 1/2" fittings
 
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?
 
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.
 
don't believe everything you read, particularly from vendors

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
