Q. What is the thinnest PC radiator?
XSPC TX
The XSPC TX is the worlds thinnest PC radiator. At just over 20mm thick, it’s 20% thinner than a standard 120mm fan and over 40% thinner than our EX series radiators.
Q. What size radiator do I need for my PC?
The rule of thumb is to use at least one 120mm radiator (section) per each water cooled component plus one additional section. For example, if you’re liquid-cooling a CPU and a single high-performance graphics card, we recommend using at least one 360mm (3x 120mm) radiator for the best results.
Q. Does PC radiator size matter?
Size is a simple factor but in the case of a PC radiator it has a couple of different implications. For example, a 360mm radiator is designed to work with three 120mm fans along 1 side (3 x 120 = 360), and a 280mm radiator is designed to work with two 140mm fans along 1 side (2 x 140 = 280).
Q. Are radiators better than fans PC?
Lower FPI means you can generally run slower/cheaper fans and still maintain good performance where fans that run 20+ FPI perform better with higher CFM/static pressure fans. All radiators perform best in push/pull and even high FPI rads can run well with slower speed fans in push/pull.
Q. Why are bigger radiators better?
Thicker radiators have a lower fin density. Lower density radiators allow air to flow more freely allowing you to run slower fans while still dissipating heat effectively due to the additional width.
Q. Will a bigger radiator help overheating?
Overall, putting a giant radiator in your car isn’t going to help keep your engine that much cooler, but upgrading to a system that is more effective will. For your standard commuter car, you shouldn’t be particularly worried about your car overheating.
Q. Are liquid cooled PCS quieter?
Liquid cooling, especially when using an All-in-One (AIO), tends to be quieter than the fan on a CPU heatsink. Overall, though, liquid cooling tends to generate less sound, as the small pump is usually well insulated, and radiator fans tend to run at lower RPM (revolutions per minute) than those on the CPU heatsink.
Q. Are CPU coolers necessary?
A cooler of some kind is absolutely necessary. An aftermarket cooler isn’t a strict necessity. When you buy a CPU it comes with a cooler in the box.
Q. Are thicker radiator better PC?
Thicker radiators have a lower fin density. If noise level is a concern, these will let you sleep at night. Lower density radiators allow air to flow more freely allowing you to run slower fans while still dissipating heat effectively due to the additional width.
