Well, the main thing behind the PA vs Blackice is PA has less fins making it a much better candidate if using low CFM fans so if the 360 has more fins then the Xtreme, that means it may require even higher CFM fans then the blackice's.
Just a little personal common sense not based on any scientific or testing results what so ever. I have the Black Ice Xtreme 480 by the way and I think it's pretty darn decent. Haven't owned anything else so I couldn't compare. |

Don't get any xflow or single pass rads except for the pa160. DATA is at cooling-masters.com or thermal management testing by bill adams for BI GTS info. The old 18 FPI 120mm coolingworks rad is based on the black ice extreme. http://www.cooling-masters.com/articles-38-8.html
BI GTS or GTX really beat the **** out of all rads when fan CFM is above 60 CFM. At 100 FPI more the GTS has no match and i think still improves with higher CFM. Thing is it's loud, louder even with low speed fans and at low fan speeds performs worse |

Hmmm, planning on some very low CFM fans (Scythe 35CFM 120mm fans most likely). The link is... not english,
 so its hard to read.So why not use a single pass? Got me curious now! |
