Yes, I agree, but linking to a site that may or may not be good to order from isn't good practice.

Also, it still doesn't account for the fact that we have yet to know what is planning on being cooled. That radiator may not be adequate on its own, depending on loop components. You can't just buy a radiator and assume it just will handle whatever load is included and expect good cooling results.

You have to plan your loop accordingly.

1) FrozenCPU has been out of business for several months. There are rumors they are back online, but be careful, this is not 100% confirmed.

2) Choice of radiator and components should be based on what is being cooled. You simply cannot just buy a radiator and continue to add heat to the loop and expect '1 radiator' to perform the same with 1 component as it would with 2.

You know everyday i see people post stuff on here about watercooling asking very simple questions that have been answered everyday...
Most of these questions can be answered via google and can be found within 5 mins
Plus you might gain some extra knowledge researching it yourself instead of having someone else do it for you..
Google my friend.. Google...

I don't claim to know everything or be an expert...I'm passing along knowledge that I have and consolidating data in one location for others to use and learn from.

I'm about to start doing watercooling lab/bench testing soon when my science/testing gear starts to arrive.
