I'm looking at redoing my loop, and want to simplify some of the tubing runs. Right now I have two Hardware Labs Black Ice 420 GTS rads in the top of my Core X9, but I'm trying to keep my eye out for a rad with ports on the side. IE, rather than come out the bottom port, doing a 90, over to the other rad, another 90 and then into its bottom port, I'd like to just go from one to the other with an extender.

Has anyone seen a rad with that kind of port arrangement?

The Hardware Labs Black Ice SR2 radiator series is probably exactly what you're looking for. It has 4 ports (front/side/top/bottom) on both sides, for a total of 8.

Oh, that does look perfect. Is that a new revision of the SR2? I'd look at them when I was building my system last year, but they didn't have the side ports then.

Just need to pony up another $300 now.

Yeah, I think they were fairly new back in November-ish when I bought my 360mm version.
