Swiftech Mcr420-qp Quad 120mm Radiator Released

[gabe]

We are pleased to announce the release of the MCR420-QP quad 120mm radiator.

http://www.swiftnets.com/assets/images/products/MCR420/MCR420-QP-122x500.jpg

MSRP is $82.95
shipping: Now

Because of our move, we have not been able to publish performance curves yet. However flow curves will be very similar to the triple rad, and power dissipation can be expected to scale linearly compared to single, dual, and triple.

Performance gain of the Delta T water to Air should be (using the same fans):

75% better than single
50% better than dual
25% better than triple

for example

if your Delta T water to air with a single is 20C
with a dual it will be 10C
with a triple it will be 6.67c
with a quad it will be 5C

another simple example using different baseline: if you already have a triple, and your DT water-air is say 8C, then you should expect to drop DT to 8x0.75= 6C (of course using the same fans)

I hope this simple math helps.

looks nice, but is there going to be 140mm rads from swiftech

[Demthios]

Wicked! Getting ready to do a new build and was dissappointed I didn't see a Swifttech MCR420 yet! But this is just perfect timing! Thanks Gabe!

[millertime359]

Sweet rad Gabe. Looks good. Now if only Skinnee could do some testing with it. ;)

as mentionned above, it will scale linearly with with the other rads of the Quiet Power line of products, since it is exactly the same specs except larger. so just take skinee's results from our triple, and improve the DT water to air by 25%.

Yes, but I cannot tell you when.

I was just teasing Skinnee. :yepp:

[Mabyboi]

nice looking rad, but im sure, people want to know... is it stackable? :D cause a QUAD simply isnt enough here ::rofl::

[Spawn-Inc]

YES... but dammit. i just built my custom rax box to hold 3 of the mcr320's. man i wish these were out a year ago.

i could have dropped my delta from 1.7C to .5C probably.

[Caoder]

i want to stack 3 of em in a row on the bottom of my compy >3>

[~CS~]

Will delta T is increasing linearly but price is not :D , hoping to see some improvement there after a while ;)

lol spawn ,just add another triple so you can sleep well :)

MSRP from Swiftech:
MCR120 $39.95
MCR220 $53.95
MCR320 $67.95
MCR420 $82.95

Are you disappointed it's not $81.95? :confused: :D

lol seriously that's a great price. ~$40 cheaper than the next cheapest 4x120? Seems like a winner to me

[Demthios]

Yeah I've been looking at putting dual 4x120 in my next build I'm planning out and with this I can get the Rad + Fans for the cost of just one Rad from the other companies! Seems like a winner to me as well!

[millertime359]

Not to mention that is MSRP and all the other rads sell for less than that. I would imagine after a few months you could get them for $60-$70.

Seems like a deal to me also. :up:

thanks :)

[dejanh]

Hmmm :idea:...me thinks it is time to go to a bigger case, maybe Antec 1200 and stick two of these stacked in the front like I have two MCR320s now in the Antec 900 :p:

You might be able to do the MCR420 and a MCR220 in the bottom of a TJ07 with push/pull on both.

Yes, except I'm cheap and a TJ07 is not lol :p:

Same here. :( Stupid college bills. :shakes: :)

[Jamesrt2004]

what you think can fit bottom of a+ (tagan) black pearl rebranded li-li v2000/v2100 (forget which one)

[Aphellyon]

lol spawn ,just add another triple so you can sleep well :)

Heh, I think he's runn'n outta wall space for 'em. :D

[Caoder]

black pearl is awesome ;) and its a v2000 but it feels slightly flimsy =(

[Jamesrt2004]

yah SO expensive in UK compared to US I think i paid £185 O.o it's $115~ on newegg haha anyway was still worth it its a great case, just can't think how big of a rad I can fit =)

[MoMo_RT]

Depending on what fans you use there probably won't be room to do a push pull in a TJ07 on the 420 next to the PSU

Yea, I don't have the measurements for the case. I just know the MCRs are thinner than XSPCs or TCs. That was the whole basis behind the comment. :)

[Spawn-Inc]

Heh, I think he's runn'n outta wall space for 'em. :D

lol, ya though i think i could get 2 of those quad's above my lcd's :)

i will get one of these some time in the next 6 months, add another triple and make it a 4x4 x120mm rad :) and of course go push pull.

Dude, you keep going and your loop's going to start breaking the laws of thermodynamics. :p:

Love those quads though... kinda wish I had waited on my 320s now.

[Jamesrt2004]

justmeasured my case and i could get one (or 2) in there O.o.... well looks like im waiting till there here.. much more cost effective imo.

[Boogerlad]

will there be a proper single pass 4*120mm radiator anytime soon? The hwlabs are quick and dirty conversions: http://www.over-clock.co.uk/ivb/index.php?showtopic=14805

I'd rather go with a proper one than get two 2-342 heatercores and solder them.

[Spawn-Inc]

lol
well i'm not sure if it's possible, i think so, but i would like to load at my ambient temps. i'm sure once i get a wife i can move the rads to her computer :up:

i think i will stop collecting rads once drop my delta to below 1C under load at my overclock.

[adpr_02]

Yes, but I cannot tell you when.

If you guys release 140 mm rads, can you also release some rad grills like the AC Ryan ones? I'd only upgrade to 140mm if there was a radgrill on the market.

I'd buy swiftech because I'm assuming it will be thin profile and sparse fins - which none of the other 140mm rads have (that I know).

[misho]

WHere can i buy it from ? (US/Canada)

[gabe]

WHere can i buy it from ? (US/Canada)

All major Swiftech dealers.. but this was just released so they might not have them in stock just yet. We shipped a bunch today.

[Spawn-Inc]

any plans for 140 sized rads? stackable quad? or better yet a MCR520?

[Wezly]

<-- Sobbing joyfully at the release of this radiator.

[Jonni Nitro]

Really nice price imo, and again Swiftech continues with quality affordable products. I wish I had maybe gotten one of these for my rig. I wonder how this will compare to my stacked 320's? Ah, theres always next time.

[mikecdm]

Very tempting

[LinusTech]

I got my order in today, so we'll be lagging behind a touch, but we'll have them.

[NaeKuh]

:up:

Excellent gabe!

[Spawn-Inc]

jabtech has them listed, but out of stock.

[RCG_Bex]

OMG! *druel*

Why wasn't this out like 3 weeks ago!!!

I could do with a rad with lower fpi than 30 :lmao:

~Bex

yeah ..unlucky you with a koolance rad :D

[RCG_Bex]

.......Gabe! It's my b-day on Tuesday! Lol wanna replace my koolance rad with 1 of your flashy 1s? :D

~Bex

[jab-tech]

jabtech has them listed, but out of stock.

They arrive Tuesday morning.

[Wezly]

Hmm, I wonder if I could put one of the 320 stackers on this as well?

Or maybe there will be 420 stackers that I missed the announcement for?

Gabe?

[the_dope_chaud]

[QUOTE=Wezly;4024270]Hmm, I wonder if I could put one of the 320 stackers on this as well?[QUOTE]

I actually am wondering about this, because I am pretty sure these rads (stackable)run in parallel, and if the two rads are different sizes, they theoretically have different flow rates. Would having two different sized rads in stack work ?

[Spawn-Inc]

Gabe?

there would be no issues stacking the 2 sized rads but the_dope_chaud, brought up a good point about the flow.

BIG Question

why is it named mcr420 ... wherelse 120x4=480? :lol2:

mistaken 140x3=420? :lol2:

Swiftech has gone with the naming convention MCR-XY0, where X is the number of fans and Y is the fan size (2 for 120mm, 4 for 140mm, etc).

Not really sure why though, since they are the only company that does this :shrug:
