My friend was talking with Bill and Gabe at Swiftech and they said their radbox lowered temps by as much as 6c? I don't see how that's possible because it mounts on an exhaust fan on the back of the case. Unless it was changed to an intake wouldn't that push warm air through the radiator and increase temps?

And he said that their new kit uses a 120mm Black Ice radiator. According to Swiftech's extensive testing it's better than a heatercore? I've always thought that a heatercore was designed better than any Black Ice radiator. Wouldn't everyone be recommending and using Black Ice rads if that was true?
