What fan spacing size would do these radiators need? 15mm or 25mm.
 
This will be for a MountainMods case.
 
Also do you place the rads inside the case or outside the case?

15mm for those loud, restrictive, craptastic radiators. just go air if you want a super loud annoying build.

GTX black ice is not high end, it is bottom of the barrel, unless you put 3000+ RPM fans on it, but it still restricts the water flow soo much, it just sux.

go XSPC RX series for slow fans 1000 RPM and less, just matters how many watts you need to dissipate, that will decide on the size, type and amount of radiators, and fan requirements.
all new radiators are 15mm spacing

Alright, but how do you tell if the rads are 15mm or 25mm? without having to buy them.

old thermochill have 25mm spacing, so their overall dimensions are longer than the new ones.
