A challenge - PA120.3 vs HE120.3 vs PA160.

Apparently BI Extreme does not need to be cleaned. And this is a HUGE advantage in my opinion.

They do need to be cleaned. I flushed mine several times before using it, and the water still turned milky white within a day.

I just plan on flushing my system after the first 48 hours.

The test: HERE

That's a very interesting review and would definately make the GTX a better radiator for any fans over 1000RPM like yate loons. I had always heard PAs were better until about 80cfm range, but that's not what the review points out.

Regular slow speed yate loons are 1300 RPM, so according to the above test a GTX360 with yate loons would outperform a PA120.3 with yate loons at 12V.

I had always been curious about flow restistance on the GTX series, thinking they might be more restrictive like the GTS, but that's also not correct.

I'm going to have to round up one of each and start doing some testing..

thats nice to hear from you Martinm, your reviews are all good to read...

Another good test of the two rads for high performance would be awesome, especially if people are using a GTX in a loop that only consists of a cpu block or 2 gpu blocks and thus flow restriction isn't a huge issue, and they use >47cfm already.
