 Nice radiator for the money
Bought a Black Ice 360 radiator first and then found out it doesn''t work well with low speed fans due to the high "fins per inch" spec. Measured @ approx 14/inch which requires a fairly high speed fan to get the air through. This XSPC unit is only 8 fins per inch and so it performs much better with the lower speed (read quiet) fans. Also 20-30 bucks cheaper than the equivalent competition. The only thing is the mounting holes on my unit were 6-32 vs. the 4mm which the spec says. No biggie, just an FYI. Would definitely purchase one of these again. |

 Be careful if you buy this reservoir...
When you enlarge the image you can see a semi-circle shaped baffle for the outlet to the pump. The problem with this baffle is that it has a "top" on it which will trap air that then gets sucked into your pump. I used this thing for about 3 days without issue and then noticed that the tube going to my pump had collapsed from the suction and lack of water in the tube. After checking this out I discovered the above described problem. It wouldn''t be that big of a deal if I could pull my reservoir all the way out, turn it over and hopefully get the air out of that little "chamber" for the output but my lines are a bit to short to allow that without breaking open the system. Of course, now I will have to do just that to replace this thing with another reservoir of a better design. Nice looking unit but poor internal design. |
