With XSPC and Swiftech releasing new Rads, maybe it will force TC and TFC to drop their prices? OK, I kid, I kid. :)

It's nice to see xspc making rads, they make some nice products.
Preliminary prices. But if they turn out to be correct, I really hope for XSPC's sake that they perform exactly the same or even better compared to the PA120.3. Else they gotta depend on the Pa's being out of stock.
It's about what I was expecting. If they're going to position their rad to compete against TFC and TC technically they're also going to position it in a similar manner for pricing.
The extra couple of quid will be worth it over a PA purely for the far better paint finish, pre-tapped fan mounting holes and standard spacing. If the performance is where it should be aswell (right up there with TFC and PA with low speed fans) then these will probably be my rads of choice in the future. :)

Jab-Tech now has them in stock (10% discount):
120: $55

Now just waiting on the performance results...
Think I'm gonna have to try these out. :yepp: Certainly look promising.
Me too :) Actually I did order RS360(I can get 3 of these for 2 swiftech mcr320 price), but it was out of the stock and when they come back to stock there is also available RX360(wondering how they perform againt PA 120.3).. So any news about it? Thanks and sorry for rush
They changed price - now 360 is for £71.99 !! :(

They also raised RS price about £10, but there RX360 http://watercooled-pcs.co.uk/en/xspc...-radiator.html is normal price and its coming to ChilledPC also.
I can't wait to see the results of these. If they are comparable to Fesers or TC rads, this will be a great product. Plus the gloss finish makes em look a little sleeker if you ask me. Good work XSPC.
Test results for the RX120 will be posted later today and the RX360 is "on-deck" for testing.
