I'm looking all over ebay and some other places for a 120.3, and I guess what I'm wondering is if there's a good place like sidewinders I could buy from. I've noticed Gary's been out of stock for a while now.

Thanks in advance for any advice :D

Try Mountain Mods:

I would go with a Feser/XSPC though, getting a Thermochill fully cleaned is a pain and the fact that the screw holes don't come pre-tapped is a bad joke...

PS. Yes, I do own a Thermochill, it performs great, but the Feser/XSPC are better products imho.

Anyone other than mountain mods? That's the price I was referring to in my initial post.

Not at the moment...:shake:

I can state for a fact, the Thermochill radiators are by far the most solidly built watercooling radiators ever built...:fact:

I have one so I know the kind of quality I want. I'm looking for a 2nd to handle my graphics. It would be more than enough to handle it, but nothing bad ever came from owning a thermochill rad.

Good luck on finding the Thermochill's even the Feser's are getting hard to find always OOS, managed to get a hold of a PA120.2 for my xbox though..

Buy them direct. That's what I do. Shipping to the states from UK isn't that bad. I actually paid $6 less buying direct vs buying in the states. Just shoot them an email explaining that you're in the states and you need to buy a radiator. It's very very simple and beats buying in the states, I promise you.

Man you have a point. It does beat buying in the states and it is SO MUCH CHEAPER. :D

Just buy a Feser or an XSPC.

Thermochills are great rads, no doubt. But the other ones equal the performance, use the universal mounting spacing, are cleaner from the start and are G1/4 tapped.

TCs might be built more solidly, but I'm not about to make a rad a load-bearing component nor am I planning to stop any bullets with them. I've owned three TC rads and they've all been great, but they rested on their laurels and the pack caught up to them.

I don't get the hate. My entire rig is external so standard fan mounting does not bother me. At $95 shipped to my door the PA 120.3 wins.

No hate.

Just stating my point of view.

I think Thermochills are great rads. If you can get them for that price and the other little details don't matter, then go for it!

Personally, there were some other factors that went into my decision to choose a different brand of radiator this time around.

I bought mine direct from TC since I'm tired of waiting from NCIX. It ended up 5$ cheaper even with customs and shipping. Great experience and they are nice to deal with (especially Steve Verity).
