amrgb, going from air to the water setup you propose will yeild you a good 15C drop easy. NOw, your mobo sensor might not reflect that as we all know temp reporting is dicey at best. 2 PA120.2's probably wont yeild gains worth the cost.

Can't generalise it like that. Some built-for-PC rads beat some heatercores. Others don't. Wait for c/w results for PA Series from Cathar, which should answer some questions.Does a heatercore from a car perform as well as rads designed for watercooling. I love my heatercore and plan on running a second one when I get my new block and pump setup. I dont want to spend the money if the water cooling rads perform much better. They are basicly the same thing, just minor details which set them apart.
Sounds good thanks ... By heatercores I really ment what most of us use ... the 77 Boni ... It just about the same size of a normal 2X120 but is a tad wider, and is a little deeper as well. I wasnt sure if you have used these in the past or not.
No sign of them yet. Still eagerly waiting. No big prob though, I'll just be on the R1 until they get here.
Well, Im waiting to buy mine till I see cathar's results 0.o.
I just want my stuff now lol.

Buy some heatercores thats what i do
Yea I might, but it sounds like the PA will beat them and are a lot easier to mount up and what not.
I dunno though, Im going to the autoparts store when my case gets in to get some plexiglass and what not so ill probably check out heatercores then.
might not be much of a difference since im going to be using those 3 130cfm deltas and making a custom mount to keep it on the top of my case.

PA120.2 and 120.1 arrived today. Will set up to generate some results in the coming week. Will also re-run some of the other radiators I've tested as the testbed has changed slightly since then.
awesome

Good read, thanks for the testing!
Anyone know where I can get a PA 120.3 and the shroud in the USA?
Nowhere.... direct from ThermoChill.com is only choice at mo.
Hank from PerformancePCS informed me that the HE120 rads they have listed on their site are actually "the new rads" and I had ask about the PA's. Is this true Marci?
Formerly XIP, now just P.
As far as I'm aware, DangerDen, our US Distributor, hasn't ordered any PA120 format rads yet, which means no US Stores should have any unless they've purchased direct from ThermoChill, and I don't see any records reflecting that at this end.
The PA series rads and the HE series rads are radically different, so if he has PA series he should amend his site accordingley. The two are too different to mix up. Tell him to check ThermoChill.com if he isn't sure, but as far as I know, no US stores have stocks of the PA120 series.
The Rev3 HE Series aren't the PA Series.
I've dispatched an email to him asking him about this. He may have just meant they had the HE v3's. He probably wasn't even aware of the PA series yet.
Formerly XIP, now just P.
Marci you SURE you cant get Thermochill to get another US distributor.. DD is being pretty rediculous and not ordering the PA's...
^^^^^ agreed

Cheers for the thread Marci!
It's helped me decide which rad to buy for my TEC setup
A hope thats a heatercore ... haha sorry I already got made fun of for this so I'll stop. Great work MarciCheers for the thread Marci!

Nah, the PA120.3 with performance shroud for a twin peltier project - should be fun
Would running a PA120.3 with 2x performance shroud using six fans really make any significant/ worthwhile differences?
What fans would be ideal for low noise (silence) during the day, then turn up for power for benching at night? I'm having difficulty choosing a fan, as what about air pressure not just CFM?
Cathar, be sure to throw a bonneville core in with your testing
ALIENS are bringing my next kentsfield based rig in a UFO case!
Send me one, and I will.Cathar, be sure to throw a bonneville core in with your testing
Have just started generating test results with a revised testbed. Will need to re-assess the results of other radiators again as well. This could take some time...
I'll trade ya one
hmm, i say we just take one of the rads hes testing and find a comparisons of one of those to the bonneville, should give us a good idea. dont ya think?

How similar is Bonneville core to the DualHeaterCore that DangerDen sell? If that's close enough then can get one of those over to Cathar no probs...Cathar, be sure to throw a bonneville core in with your testing
