I've seens those, but I meant the pushing ones rotating in one direction and the pulling ones in the opposite one (or vice-versa). More efficient than having both sets rotating in the same direction :)Quote:

Vapor said not to stack fans directly unless they are counter rotating... I don't remember him saying anything about "stacking" fans with a radiator between them.
The reason you shouldn't stack fans directly is because when air exits a fan, it's like a tornado... it has a twist to it. The counter rotating fans cut this twist to increase CFM. The radiator between your "stacked" fans cuts the twist too.
Waste of time, despite the low fin density you nee at least an 100 CFM fan to get 60cfm through that rad thickness. Now let me go buy some 100 cfm 140mm fans...... oh wait you cant.
I distinctively remember that detail... mainly because until Marci mentioned it, I had never heard about counter-rotating fans...Quote:

hmm.. that "thing" and three delta's.. I just came.
LMAO :D
I don't know why...but this thing reminds me of the CrushinatorQuote:

Back on topic, to be honest my approach to this particular item is... unexcitement.
I had enough ice skating uphill to fit 2 x PA120.3s on the bottom of my V2010... I can't deal with yet another "square peg in round hole" situation.
Now... if someone would offer a rad that performs like a PA120.3 in a PA120.2 size or smaller using the same fans, now that would probably get me excited :)
remember this is pre production, and who ever leaked this to OCUK is going to have words with them, still not aloud to realese the photos yet
I thought this was XS? Bunch of comments without ANYTHING to back them up . . .we need TESTS . . .flow tests, temp delta tests (temp going into and out of the rad), temp tests with different fan configurations . . .etc
You can comment on the looks but saying what it will and will not do is speculation . . .
Ill be getting 8 and making a case out of them
I agree 100% with this. Fans need to catch up here in the 140mm area. If and when 140 higher power one's do come out then I would give this thing a second look or two and contemplate if it's even worth the trouble.Quote:

Andy you do have a point in disclosure . . .no offense taken bud . . .
So WHO is going to do an updated radiator shootout? Someone should contact all the major rad vendors and get their latest and greatest including the TCs that are supposed to be coming out and test the heck out of them . . .
x2! I want to know!Quote:

A 140mm San Ace "King of The Hill" Imagine a San Ace just like the famous 120's but ina 140 with the same specs only quieter. If that came out, I might have to work on drawing upa custom panel in Cadd for my Ascension and then calling Ben for that one. hehe 2x 5 by 140's = World Domination!
OK, I need to quit before my CC is confiscated. hehe :)
I agree with T Flight... World Domination! :D
Haha, that rad is huge. I cant wait for some tests...
With all due respect I've read no bashing so far in this thread.Quote:

Of course is just an educated guess, but speculating that you may need more powerful fans to push/pull air through it seeing it's thickness I think is a reasonable speculation. Besides, again, speculation =/= bashing.
Finally, that thing looks unwieldy. I mean, even by our standards is BIG. Speculating over wheter if/how would fit or not in a case is again not bashing.
As I said before, personally I'm unexcited. They could make a 200.8 sixtuple pass radiator and it would dissipate more watts than my current 120.3's... however, I would need to put in on a separate room.
What would excite me is something smaller and more wieldy than the current available products that would perform the same. That I would consider a real breaktrough. Increasing the size to increase the performance... well, gives you choice, but that's about it...
NEEDS MOAR GROUND EFFECT LIGHTING AND A MASSIVE WING SPOILER
owait...
I'd like to see some temps :)
Just saw this. Oh man! Words! :eek: Tell them to send me those words. Just tell them I leaked them. I'm good at ignoring stuff like that.Quote:

There comes a point where you can only get so much fin area in such a small form factor, and you can only get so much performance out of that fin area. You can only get so much flow through the radiator. Instead of increasing fin density (and thus, fin area), they increased the form factor of the radiator, to maintain a low fin density so people can use slower fans and keep noise down.Quote:

To increase performance, you have to increase the fin area, and the only way to increase fin area without increasing noise is to make the fin density go down so you can use quieter fans, making form factor size go up.
I think this rad is taking Thermochill's thick rad, low fin density to a whole new extreme. Low fin density, but huge fins in an even bigger form factor. Even more performance for those who need it quiet, in a slightly larger form factor.
