I have a Lian -Li PC-75. Before starting to cut with my dremel and jigsaw on that case, I need your opinion. With a maze 3 block, a DD GF4 block, L30 and 1/2" tubing everywhere, will I see a difference in my temps whether I use:

this heatercore : http://dtekcustoms.safeshopper.com/19/92.htm?956 Dimensions(with tanks) are 6"W x 7"H X 2"Thick.

or this heatercore: http://jpiperformance.com/xlr120radiator.htm Dimensions(with tanks) are 6 1/2"W x 11"H X 2"Thick.

I know that with the XLR 120 Rad has enough surface to run quiet fans at low rpm and still get good cooling. The XLR is a bit too wide for the top of the case so I need to remove some alu in the way. Not a big deal though. The D-tek one fits without having to mod the top at all.

I want good cooling but will not use Pelts. So which heatercore should I use? And If I go with a shorter heatercore like the D-Tek one, I much CFM do I need?

I want silence, good temps but I'm looking for silence mainly.

thx.
