The Big PC Build – Entry #11 – XSPC EX240 Rad/ Radiator

Now all that’s left to get is a full set of fittings :)

I have just purchased the XSPC Ex 240 for a couple of reasons,  As I am only going to be cooling the CPU straight off the bat then a 240 should be more than enough for what I need.  It was also partly due to advice given by members of the Overclockers forums.
As I am using a Mid-Tower case I also thought spending the extra money on a thermochill Rad would be a little too much seeing as It’s a large radiator for the size of my case and If need be I will just by a separate 120 Thermochill at a later date.
This model is nice and slimline, a nice size, new cooling technoligy….and British! !!!

I think this is going to be a perfect first radiator as It will not take up tons of room in my case and should be more than enough for a simple PCU loop.
