Finished my first round of testing on a 30 minute burn on prime 95 using my 95w test bench and have updated the original post.Based on this really limited test, 120mm AIO vs custom 240 rad loop is the biggest difference (as expected). AIO is slightly louder (pump even run at 60% is a bit gurgly) and ~5c warmer based on a 95w load.Another observation on the 120 rad (single fan) vs 240 rad (single fan) discussion indicates that the use of a 240 rad gave very little performance improvement over the 120mm rad, unless it has fans on it.My multi-fan rad setup for those interested:Other points:I made sure not use a reservoir for the custom loops to reduce "heatsinking" caused by the additional extra fluid volume in the loop. Adding a res in may double the volume of fluid in a small loop.The use of 2 quick release fittings will have reduced the flow rate of the pump significantly.
