Custom loop - Performance difference between 2x240 st25 and st30

[hemandk]

Hi,

So I building a PC, with some limitations to size.

The build is a 3060 TI with a 10600K.

I would like to use 2x 240 st25 radiators, since they seem to have a height of 120mm whereas the st30 is 124mm.

I dont really have the last 8mm of space unless I do some cutting, which I dont mind doing.

But how much is the performance gain from 2x 240 st25 vs 2x 240 st30?

Planning to use arctic 120x25mm fans (pst pwm) the fans have about 45mm free air behind them with the st24 and 40mm with the st30, if that matters.

Thanks.

Hi,

the difference between a ST25 and a ST30 is in this heat range not really measurable. We are speaking here about 1- max 2°C water temperature. different

Excellent then I will go with 2x 240mm ST25 since this will make fitting easier
