Are 180mm rads + fans still the best way to go in terms if width of rads don't matter? Also, what is the most efficient radiator size when taking into account restriction? More 120mm rads, less 140mm rads, or some 180mm rads? Trying to understand when I'd use which size if I don't build in a case and rad compat doesn't matter. Space efficiency/money efficiency might matter still though.
The quality of the rad would be my first priority. Honestly, restriction doesn't play much of a role with todays gear. As long as you go with a quality pump and don't have 20ft of tubing your generally gtg.
If your planning to run a non typical loop that's a bit longer or consists of a few more rads and 90s than normal, well just get yourself another pump ;)

Is it me or does it look like EK "took some design ideas" from Watercool's Heatkiller line of radiators?
View attachment 251711
EK showed their design first at Computex 2021. To be more exact 01.06.2021.
Heatkiller (Watercool) launched its radiators on 20.05.2021. so just a few days earlier than EK has revealed their design...
So it's just a coincidence if you ask me.
Also, it's just a visual resemblance, the con instruction is totally different and also offers multiport versions, for the same price, with better performance.

Too bad that we don't have the comparison with the older 360 SE.
EKs marketing material says that you can see up 20% performance improvement.

Would love to see a review of the P360M - The one that I imagine most people will be looking at given it's medium size and extra fill/drain ports.

After I get back from my vacation, it was tough to get these two done on time as it is.

Can't wait! I'm guessing that'll be the best fit for my next build later this year in my o11D Evo case.
