The XSPC- RX120 is the thickest single 120mm Radiator I could find. I'm sure it will do better than the stock radiator but not sure by how much. I know a basic dual 120mm radiator can shave 8 degrees off from the stock rad. What do you guys think?

    I thought about replacing the rad with a bigger one also, but what I was concerned about was if the pump would be able to handle it. I mean if you add more water won't it make it harder on the pump, and if something goes wrong I doubt Corsair would warranty it. Keep us posted if you do replace it though, and add some pics for sure !!

    Yea. Thats why i picked out this radiator. I've seen lots of youtube videos with people who added a dual 120mm radiator. I figured this one should perform pretty close to the duals but use less water.
    http://www.overclock.net/water-cooling/629298-mod-corsair-h50-240mm-radiator-3.html here is one that caught my attention. Scroll down a bit to get the temps before and after this mod. Pretty sweet if you ask me.
