CONCLUSION

   When i first saw a picture of the (upcoming back then) RX360 V3 a while back i was quite impressed with its size and design not only because it was quite thicker and nicer looking compared to normal radiators but also because at the same time it was also thinner compared to other similar solutions (56mm/60mm). Of course using an 4mm less thick radiator is not game breaking and I’m certain XSPC is well aware of that but whatever one can squeeze out in terms of interior space is always good especially for midi and normal full towers (monsters like the 900D are not really affected). However i think that the number one question in everyone’s mind is how did the RX360 V3 do and that's clearly shown from our charts since it surpassed the EX280 with ease. To be honest with everyone at first we did expect a larger performance difference since we were quite confident that three premium 120mm fans paired with an 360mm long 56mm thick radiator should greatly surpass two 140mm fans paired with an 280mm long 33mm thick radiator but that didn't happen for one very important reason, width. You see the RX360 V3 might be longer and thicker but it's also smaller in width (130mm/143mm) and so the EX280 ended up performing better than we had originally thought it would (which is certainly good news for people with towers that can fit wider radiators).

   The latest RX360 V3 Triple Fan Radiator by XSPC currently retails for USD105.95 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 107.15Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) so although it may not be very cheap still it offers an excellent price/performance ratio unachieved by its immediate and current competition. Of course for people who are willing to spend more to get the best possible cooling performance XSPC also offers the premium AX series of radiators (we will try to get one of those to compare against) while for people on a tighter budget the EX series should be more ideal. Regardless the latest RX360 V3 Triple Fan Radiator offers very good performance, is smaller than similar radiators and also costs less so what else is there for us to say other than that it gets our Platinum Award?
