I am interested in getting one of these radiators (Mostly for its small size, as I haven't seen any heatercores with the same dimensions and this is going inside my case), yet I have only seen a couple reviews of the Black Ice (nothing on the Pro or Xtreme). Besides the few numbers I've read (probably from the manufacturer), I believe the Pro is 35% better than the BI, and the Xtreme is 100% better than the BI.

My question is this: If your just cooling a CPU, NB, and GPU, is the BIX really necessary, or will a Pro do the job? I'm not sure, but it looks like the BIX is for Peltier and Dual CPU setups (I could be wrong though).
