Bundy.....do you have any of these "in hand"? If so.....I would think you will probably test the crap out them shortly. Those are great looking rads. Sure would like to see how they perform compared to all these other brands.

My God.
I want one now!
First impressions Bundy? Just curious to see if a rad that think has any improvements over the thinner rads? things are beautiful.....but friggin' huge!
Want oneeee :)
@chubber_lang: Well, it´s sadly but true, this version has no chance against rads like the htf4, AMS or even the cheap magicool 420 like it is right now. I informed Thermalfins about it and they want to try some improvement again.
So Guys, i reported the bad performance from the previous version to Thermalfins and those guys worked the whole weekend to improve the big black thing ;) Ok now, i received the package via express today and i´m testing again since several hours. What i can say is: The performance is better now, BUT still miles away from the "usual" 3x140mm rads.....

Have you done any testing with powerful fans? (over 2000rpm)
Nice to see them try something new. However it definitely is a shame it isn't as good as normal water cooling radiators.
max. with the PK3 - 1700 RPM, Difference is still huge. Those fans are good for radiator usage

I'm thinking they were already trying to improve on a already proven design (Standard radiators), so seeing it perform worse isn't exactly surprising. I think this radiator would be better suited to a passive or external application.
I can't understand why they went with that square-cross-sectioned core instead of a wider, shallower core. Seems like a poor use of space, and probably hurts performance as well.
You'd think they'd have done exhaustive testing during development, before ever releasing any samples for independent review. Doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence in the company...
Thanks for testing again!:up:

Improvement in performance will never come from going back to a design concept that we already know doesn't work regardless how you try to repackage it. These, in their current design state, will never perform as well as what we have. . .all you have to do is read this sticky (clicky) from MaxxxRacer to know this and why (notice that it says "basics" in the green title ;)).

The post translates very poorly. I gather that TFC or Thermafins sued the other, Thermalfins won. :shrug:Quote:

LOL, funny reading, despite online translator's engrish.
As to rad themselves .. i want finally tests, tests and tests. Yes, flat tubes have more surface in contact for better heat transfer. But yes, extra turbulence of not smooth inside tubes may have been doing same thing of enhancing heat transfer. Rad made by whatever .. i want to see finally test with common rads put versus these.
