The Results - Per Radiator:

For the individual radiator results you will need to click on the graph to see the detailed data break down of how the radiator performed.  Its redundant to type that all again.    What I will be pointing out in addition to the graphs is the efficiencies and Delta numbers for different areas. All temps are in F

Overclock-Watercool "Big Momma"

The Results - Overall Data Comparisons:

The averages chart takes the Extech data from the cold plate and the intake air on the radiator and averages the entire 30 min test. This should show you if the temp overall for the ambient was unfair for one radiator or another.   This should also show in relation how much better the big momma was over all.

This should give you a rough idea of how different the coolant temps were between the different systems.   The thing I find most interesting is how the Big Momma leveled off at the 10 min. mark while everyone else went up in temp quite a bit from the 10 min mark.

This one shows you pretty much where the different radiators peaked and where they ended at. The reason there is a dip,  is there is a volume of coolant in the system and the entire volume needs to be warmed up.  The Time it takes for that to happen is right around 3 - 5 min depending on the radiator.

Conclusion :

The AquaCoil truly impressed me with its cooling abilities compared to the Danger Den Cube since they are such close relatives in how they are designed. I imagine the new version of the radiator would run a lil better even.

The Danger Den Cube was a bit of a let down. It didn't do bad at all, but it also didn't do that well.  It showed some pretty bad water to air efficiency, and just didn't have what it takes for a heat source like this.

For its size the Black Ice is the winner.  It's the smallest by far and ran right up there with radiators 3 - 5x its size!  As far as overall size/cooling efficiency I don't think you can do better than it did.

The Big Momma was something that came out of left field for me.  I thought it would just be a big, bulky boat anchor. But MAN was I wrong. With results from 2 to 3 times better than anything else... that's gotta tell you something.

This roundup should show that the data is not always in the final number or the lowest number. The true value of all the data above is in-between the numbers. The differences between different ambient data compared to heat load data is a great way to figure out how your system is truly performing.

There were over 56,000+ data samples gathered in this test, all were complied and drilled through to get what you see above.  It was hardly an easy task as it took somewhere around 12 hours of work to get everything charted.  But it was so worth it.   I really hope you all learned as much about these radiator's and radiator design as I did in this Roundup.    All the radiator's in this set were some of the "legacy" crowd and have some new versions or replacements coming to market soon.  When that happens we will be sure to run those along with many others through the Crucible and see what they churn out for numbers.

Thanks to BeCool, Overclock-Watercool.com , and Danger Den for participating in this Review!

But for now... it's on to the WaterBlock Roundup.  See Ya there!
