Waco Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 They will be roughly comparable with those fans...maybe a slight performance boost with the Black Ice GTX. If The XSPC Rad is cheaper I'd go with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 If you are running those fans I would go with the black ice. The xspc Rad can run any of those fans its just they prefer more airflow in my usage experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drdeath Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 The Black ice is a better Rad but due to the CPU overclock limitation, the few degrees cooler will not overclock the chip any better. The XSPC will do fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black64 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Better temps is always a good thing thou. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Less than a degree for a large cost difference just isn't worth it IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoDG Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 After a little research, the only way to get a significant performance increase out of the GTX is by using fans in excess of 2,000 RPM. That leaves me with the Gentle Typhoon 3,000 RPM model (36.5 dBA and 83.0 CFM) to go with the GTX, or a Gentle Typhoon 1,450 RPM model (21.0 dBA and 50.0 CFM) to go with the RX.

Boinker Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I have used the rx360. It is a great radiator and can manage the load of 2 gtx480s and an i7 920. So its a good buy regardless. I use 1500rpm scythe fans with it so the gentle typhoon fans will do great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Capitan Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Doesn't really matter what rads you use, but the fans you use on them. From my tech station, a single 120.1 rad in push/pull with Noctua NF-P12's running at 5V's (900RPM's) dedicated to GPU cooling was good enough to keep two GTX 460 1GB's overclocked to 950MHz at 1087mV's under 47C at max load. That same tech station with another loop has an i7 950 d0 @ 4.31GHz 1.400v on a Swiftech 120.3 rad with MCP350 pump and six push/pull 120mm Noctua NF-P12's at ULNA (5v) at 65C max load Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
