^^Won't get as good cooling... go figure! Else everyone on xs would have been using a dodge viper rad than PA120.3 :rofl:. Heatercores are history now. Almost all good PC rads are better off than heatercores.
Comparing the PA120.3 and a GTX240 while cooling a single CPU won't have a big difference. You will see the true performance of a PA120.3 when you cool two or more components - that's where the GTX240 will lose badly.
The difference is in noise... GTX240 performs pretty poorly compared to PA120.3 at <1200 rpm. I wanna use ultra silent Scythes @1200 rpm and GTX240 will suck with those compared to the PA120.3 . Right now my rig makes too much noise with dual medium speed panaflos and dual scythes .
