Does my picture of the ACool look like its 80mm? It's 45mm.This is about the 80mm thick alphacool rads right? I have not tried a dense radiator but my experience seems contrary to yours.
I had a no-name rad given to me by ChickenPattie a long time ago.
It worked well, but all the abuse and such left me looking for a new rad sence it was letting air into the loop when sitting for a few days turned off.
It had a high fin density but the fins were louvered and took more pressure to push air through it. The ACool rad only being 7 FPI was a bad choice imo and the temp's dont lie. The Black ice 30FPI fins are not louvered and thus the cooling isn't as good as the no name radiator but still very close to the same temps
I can run low rpm fans with the black ice and it's moving air through the dense fin array with no problems, and its quiet to boot. I listen to loud noises all week at work and dont need a screaming fan sitting next to me when I come home to relax.
