I thought that push/pull configuration showed no performance gain rather then just pull or just push.

yeh those US guys dont understand the meaning of expensive ;) lol
No, there are gains they are just minimal. I have the space so I do push and pull. The nice thing is that push/pull at 7v is equal to pull at 12v so my way is quieter.Quote:

Decent? The old ones or how? And where in the world? I'm going to make the push and pull as well, a fan just cost's 10£ or ~17$ so it's a little expensive to get 6 fans..
over-clock do em....Quote:

Wow that thing is a monster...looks real good though, nice and clean. 5GHz right on the horizon :D
awesome rig! ...did you have to mod that case for you to fit that rad/shrouds in?
Nope.Quote:

Awesome OC! I wonder if my P4 560 (ES) will do around the same on my crappy watercooling kit.
What are your idle and load temps?
hmmm....90 degree bends on the sides. the finish, fan cutouts and amount of standoff look familiar. :)
are the corners seam welded or press fit?
are there dividers between the fans to separate the shroud into multiple chambers or is it one open chamber?
I have a shroud proto for that rad but I am still tweaking it (and the one for the BIX/BIP series). They should be available before too much longer as I am down to squeezing the last elusive bit of cooling performance out of them now. :)
In any event, it looks well made and definitely an improvement over the stock shroud. :thumbsup:
Weapon I'm not sure... corners seem bent, not welded or press fit, but then, I'm no metal master. They are definately open chamber. One word of advice, take careful note of the BARBED side of the rad... I went through hell getting it to fit, the shroud is like 1/2" taller than it should be, it hits the round metal bit on the outside of the threads where the barbs screw in. I had to cut the shroud under each barb. Even then, the tubing was a nightmare to get on the barbs as the barbs are too close to the top of the shroud. Oh, and a new OC :DQuote:

Temps? :P
43-45C load at 4983, 40-42C at 4523 Mhz
weapon are you going to do 120.2 shrouds as well as the 120.3's?????????
They're the shroud drawings I put on www.overclockers.com before christmas... I just got em made up as got sick of folks emailing asking if we could make em. So we did. (http://www.overclockers.com/tips1183/ - 16th September 2004)Quote:

Both drawings (for HE120.2 and 120.3) were also put on Thermochill.com on the same day. (http://www.thermochill.com/guides.php)
The design was literally just make a box, cut some fan holes out. Attach. Fabricated in the easiest way, punch, fold, weld the corners, paint (powder coat in this case). Mounting holes all align to original shrouds' holes. Only reason they were designed in the firstplace was cos someone asked how to make a shroud, so I did em that design and told em to get some good stiff card. Twas a 5 minute off the top of me head job....
I should tell you Marci that because of Niksub, I've been wanting a Thermochill 120.3 more and more. He makes them look so sexy and powerful. My two favorite rads/cores in watercooling now are Weapon's Monster Core and your Thermochill 120.3...I think you should put Nik on the payroll. ;)
Naw, no need for payroll but a single pass 120.3 would be REALLY good :D Hint hint!
Got mine today, got kinda disapointed, none of the holes matched if it was to be used on the same side as the shrouds :( Had to make the holes longer for it to fit, and now it is fitting nicely.. But a little crappy that it didn't fit from scratch..
Didn't want to send it back as that would end up being about the same as the rpice for a new one :S
Edit: Just saw the technical drawing, my holes where only 7,5 mm and should be 19mm.. So it was a fabrication error..
whoa those look nice, do these provide better performance overall? I have the stock shrouds and I had to mod them to make my fans fit on :|
Thanks for the thread and link, just ordered a couple for my 120.3 and UFO case :)
