their pumps arent that bad, their tubing is good, as is their 355 tops. delta v3 cpu is a top performer at a fair price. it sounds like a great company to me.

Nice job skinnee :clap:
Thanks for testing my favorite sized rad first :up::rofl:
I'll have to see how many of my builds will actually fit these little beasts.:yepp:
Not really, they already make the best top for the DDC 3.X, now one of the top Rads, their blocks are up there and with minor tweaking could be on the top, not much else for them to do to be completely on top.Quote:

top work mate - a lot of effort went into this and it shows!! :clap:
Keep it up :up:
...BUT...they have had QC issues in the past. If they can completely solve those, they will have a rather decent lineup.Quote:

:yepp: but, if they learn from their mistakes and make sure that it doesn't happen again and get people like skinnee to go over their products I don't see them having much problems in that department. I love the fact that others are getting in the high end gear which will help companies like Feser and TC to push their stuff harder and harder to get better performance and help keep prices down. Just my :2cents:Quote:

One more thing on the topic of fins, the more I looked at the fins, something else seemed different. I tried capturing this in a photo but could not get the photo quality to really show what I saw ( I will keep trying though), the fins are split between the tubes. I have never noticed if this is the same on other radiators optimized for low speed fans. I will have to look closer next time I have a low speed fan optimized radiator in my hands.
Thanks for the kind words and feedback everyone, I truly appreciate the feedback and will try to incorporate it into further tests and reviews.
As Vapor said...it is a trendline and above or below the actual plotted data points are forecasts/predictions based on the data being plotted. It is probably close, but as to a confidence factor I could not say. I've been trying to find a way in Excel to calculate confidence factor like I can in other Statistical Analysis apps, but I have not found a method to do so yet.Quote:

The MCR series has a single row of tubes and the PA has two rows of tubes and I do not remember seeing two rows of fins for the PA. Does that help clarify? :shrug:Quote:

Great review thanks
Oh ok I understand now. Yep that helps, thanks :)Quote:

In this case, I think it's close (because the rad is designed for low airflow), but in situations where a radiator can be easily airflow starved....data at very low airflow levels goes a long way toward showing the shape of the curve :)
Again, great review skinnee :D
EDIT: is it just me or are the trendlines different on the various 10CdT graphs?
Well said! Yes, anytime you add data near or modify your spec limits that will start to change the regression/trendline.Quote:

Yes...nice catch. The single 10CdT is a Power trendline and the comparison is a 2nd order polynomial. The R^2 value is +/- 0.0007 between the two different regression/trendline types.Quote:

I think TC and Feser need to rethink their prices. :shocked:
Brilliant job, very informative. Great to see some reliable results for these new rads at last and they're worth waiting for! Thanks Skinnee
Maybe I missed it, but how does it compare to a TC? I have an old ass beat up PA120.3. Maybe the RX360 would be a good replacement?
their res's aren't that great.. aluminum/vortex issues :(. their waterblocks aren't even consider one of the best, not to say that it isn't good. it just isn't considered one of the greatest.Quote:

that wasn't my point, the point was it isn't renowned.Quote:

Maybe they will make a 480 :yepp:Quote:
