2 or 3 fan radiator

[ahnirv]

I've got a question here about whether to use a 2x or 3x120 radiator. I have a black ice extreme rad 2 slotter and am wondering if I should upgrade to a 3 slot rad of some sort. (well, not installed yet, but in the process of some pretty intense case mods before I put the WC stuff in.

It will be cooling a Q6600@ 3.6 ghz, NB chipset and hd4870 1gb. Would it be worth it to spring for the 3 slot radiator?

Whatever my rad choice will be it will be in a push/pull fan sandwich setup in an severely modified antec 1200.

Thanks for the advise.

The BIX you have with really HS fans would be just enough. A 120x3 would be better temps and quieter since you don't need such massive fannage to cool.
