I don't need this radiator anymre. This radiator works great I used two coolermaster 120mm 54cfm fans undervolt them to 7v and that cooled my IHS less opteron at 2900 and geforce 7800gt. Temps always stayed under 40c.


The best part about this radiator is that it works with low cfm fans. I never used more than 7v on my coolermaster fans which would put them somewhere between 30cfm and 40cfm. This is probably the worst cfm for any radiator but it worked for this rady. At full fan speed the temps might even went down by 3C and that's only 54cfm and 25dba

Black ice extreme requires higher cfm fans. If the same fans were used on both radiator at low cfm (quiet), thermochill would perform much better and it high it would still peform still better but I don't now by how much. Also thermochill PA series doesn't require shroud since fans are spaced about 10mm from the radiator and on black ice there is no spacing
