Don't worry about what the manufactures say.
The old Koolance fiasco long ago.
And the new BI rads? 1000 watts? Hmmmm...........
You get Martins and Skinnee and xtreme systems forums and begin to read. They do real world tests under scientific conditions. In this link.............

The actual dissipation depends on sooo many variables. Fans, even fan controllers that don't give exactly 12 vdc, more like 11.5 vdc. Your case airflow, your pump speed, your air leakage where the fan mounts to the rad, push/pull or push and pull, different brands of fans etc etc etc.
One reason why the 100 watts per 120mm of rad has held so long. I bet I could get 200 watts from 120 mm, like an old 30+ FPI Black Ice rad with some 38mm thick 4000 RPM 24VDC Delta fans.
We want effective and quiet, I bet you do too.
