hey i have made a couple posts and gotten some pretty good feedback so i figured why not make one about water cooling radiator's and recommended fans for the rad, stock or after market. i have a budget of about 100 bucks and i want something that will REALLY cool down my existing system, i was looking at some dual 120 mm fan rads but wanted to ask your opinion on which you guys would suggest for close to 100 bucks (Canadian currency if possible) thanks in advance.

if you want great performance on the cheap get yourself a swiftech mcr-320 and some high power fans

something like this

G 1/4" is the thread size on the fitting not the actual fitting diameter ;)

I'm using Black Ice Extreme 240 & 360 radiators on 2 loops with 120mm x 38mm shrouds and 141 CFM Delta fans. My temps are great and from idle to full load the temps rise 8-10c max.

This fan was cut up and the housing used as shouds.
