I decided to bring my water cooling system out of retirement and I'm up in the air between the GTX120 and the PA120.1 It'll be cooling my Opteron 170 which hits 57C at 2.95GHz, 1.55V Cooling fan will be a medium speed 120mm fan (~70cfm) attached directly to the radiator (pull) and another mounted inside the case blowing air onto the radiator (the radiator will be mounted on approx. 1/4 in. standoffs for clearance issues with the side panel). so with pretty decent water flow and air flow I'm trying to determine if the difference in price of the PA120 is worth it. Thanks for any input.

The cooler I am currently using while on air is the Thermalright SI-128
