Seeing they only had a engineering sample @ CES, I think it's fairly safe to say you won't see these for a while yet.

How long are they going to drag this drama out? If you want to hype a product, then go ahead. But if drag it out over months and months people are not gonna give a crap anymore.
I can only add, that the problem is not in the production it self, but the relationship between the client (TFC) and the actual manufacturer. This was ruined by the first one. So, I guess, we won't see these "awesome" rads at all, unless the client finds friends in Asia
haha, they can say whatever they want, and you, WL, not a child to believe these stories. It is all marketing hypes, if you ask me
oh you darn joker :D
While waiting for the Admirals....some more weeks....or maybe month...you can have a look at this tfc copy of an old noiseblocker product:

:rolleyes:
Meh, if we're gonna classify all single and double hdd silencers as NB copies, why not toss in the one Scythe made as well :p:.
Feser did a nice job on the design, and just because the design looks similar, I have a hard time calling it a copy.
Well, if you knew more details about TFC and NB, you would said different ;)
Meh, ask Dirk, Boss of Noiseblocker who makes the design of the Admiral Rads and builds the first prototype ~ 4 years ago ! And ask, why the admirals are still not on the market.....maybe because of some patents ?!
Hmm? I thought that NB and TFC are related just with TFC Triebwerks that they developed together, and which uses NB's NanoSLI bearings ..
Fester, the copy company ;)
I found this today:

maybe this is/was the company which was behind feser to produce the admirals and making their own thing now ? :rolleyes:
Looks interesting.
Very interesting article. So the real manufacturer is "Lötters Metallwaren GmbH". I like the plastic inserts idea for screw mounts. Still very puzzled about actual performance, and water flow resistance... 3x140 is priced at 185 euro, which makes the SR-1 look cheap.
Nice I can't wait to see Skinnee's review.
Gotta love how they are marketing the use of tubes connected in serial as an advantage. heheheh
This is interesting to see something actually[somewhat] new in PC rad design. I'm not sure it will be better than what we have now.
I'd think if Lötters Metallwaren was investing to bring this to market, they'd have a good idea if it's a competitive design.
I know nothing of this company, living in US though. Time/objective testing will tell the tale, doubt anyone in the know will pop for these without such testing.:up:
An interesting side tail seems to exist here, I read that FrozenCPU invested a tidy sum with Feser, to develop this rad design. I wonder what the real story is behind all this.:shrug:
:poke: for drama

Someone care to explain to me how SS is supposed to be better than copper or brass? Is it the "stainless" part, because I remember steel plugs.
FTA "And there is no need to worry about electro-chemical erosion, since wetted parts are not made of aluminum but steel instead."
Waiting for the P&P.
I don't think SS is better, I have no idea how this will perform. I use TC rads, and am happy. So, I'm not in the market for new, and improved.
However a new design is interesting, I'll wait for testing before I go hating on this somewhat new rad. It's still a tube type rad.
@Quagmire LXIX, what's P&P?:shrug: And I don't want any drama, I'm just curious.
It's been like 5 months since they released pics of the radiators... can we have them now?
