CONCLUSION
The EK-Coolstream XT is a very low restriction radiator with good all around tuning of thermal performance and good build quality. While most value radiators are sporting a slimmer 30mm core which tend to be more limited in optimal performance in one area, the slightly thicker 45mm core of the XT manages to maintain good levels of performance across a wider RPM range. It may not be at the top of the charts in any one area, nor is it loaded with extra more costly features like it’s more premium XTX brother, but it does hold a very close following in performance to the more premium radiators across the range in a very presentable package.
Cheers!

I’d really like to see some comparisons on thinner radiators between push and push/pull at slow fan speeds.
The idea being that 6 fans at 800 rpm are often a lot quieter than 3 fans at 1200 rpm and you may be able to get good slow fan speed performance like that.
Hello Martin and congrats on the fine work you do here, thanks a lot.
I was wondering if it would be possible to test the Asetek 760gc and 740gf clc kits? They look interesting but no one did a review on this yet…
Cheers
If you have a lead on a parts sponsor let me know. Not having much luck on he kits sponsoring.
How about if you say to them that there isn’t a single site or proper reviewer who reviewed their 760gc cpu+gpu watercooling kit? Maybe they will be interested in that. There are some users who done it and the results are surprisingly good for a mere 120mm radiator. I ordered a 760GC and a 740GF to cool my 2500k OCed to 4.3Ghz and my two Inno3D gtx570 Hawk in SLI. I will see if my temps and noise goes down but it will be a rather subjective opinion, if you could do it it would be great so that everyone knows if it’s worth it or not.
