I'd rather see the other testing done first, we've been needing solid testing of that stuff for a while. This can wait a bit longer IMO.
:D
No worries, it is something I need to do, just wanted to let you know timelines I am working with. Martin is on a noise endeavor... which I am happy to see him take on.
It's all cool. :up:Quote:

:D
Nope, haven't made it to the fan switch yet. :(
I have to be careful on what tests I run when I am away from the house at work... Aquarium heaters like to melt PVC when they get too hot.
@Sputnick... kinda, more of a dog person. :p:
Nope, as Skinnee said...on the noise mission except I'm switching over to a little dabbling in pump noise along with my mandatory vacation in between.Quote:

A few pictures from the cruise...sort of hard to leave that place even if I am back home now..
Stunning shots Martin210 :up:
Looks like you had a blast.. i dont blame you 1 bit for still being in holiday mode.. looking at those shots , who wouldn't be ?
Glad to have you back though :D
Cheers and kind regards !
skinnee, donīt keep us too long waiting like Fester admiral ;)
We did the western carribean with some extras:Quote:

OK, enough off topic, I'll try to make up for my inability to stay on topic...:D
For you impatient guys or anyone that missed it, SpuTnik pointed out this review:

It basically shows the radiator performed roughly equal to the PA120.3 15mm.
Restriction pretty much on par, very slightly more restricted:

And thermal performance about the same:

The GTX wasn't included in a direct comparison, but as hwlabs pointed out the same reviewer tested the RX vs GTX and there the GTX pulls ahead of the RX at around 1200RPM.
That looks very consistent to Skinnee's latest GT roundup.
http://skinneelabs.com/assets/images...red-simple.png
So...the Coolgate should come in pretty close to the PA orange line Skinnee has above except it's very slightly more tuned for low speed fans is all.
All in all, looks like good rad, similar to a PA.
The interesting thing I see with radiator preferences is the now large acceptance of GT-15 fans. Before I think most people preferred running fans in the 1200-1400RPM range, but lately I'm seeing more people running GTs near full speed. GTs at full speed is actually pretty well suited to using a high density finned rad like the GTX, yet most people are recommending slow speed rads.
I personally have gone down in speed myself, about 800RPM is all I can handle any more (Which no single fan really rules)...dual quads seems to do ok with that.
well, it's not like it was skinnee's fault for the delayed admiral review. Ｈow are you supposed to review something you don't have?
I still have retesting to do with the AP30's anyhow... MCR and PA must be tested with the new fan configuration before I can release comparison data.
skinnee, take your time, because at last we all want reliable comparison data!
:up:
maybe we have any data leaks from the skinneelabs ;)
:woot:
Coolgate 140-seried rads coming soon
AT expects it by the end of march
Skinneelab's review, enjoy. I'd more love to see it put against RX V2 instead of PA though. Well, hopefully by time all rads will pass new testbed, and we'll see another big roundup similar to old multiple triples one covering most actual rads in market in single roundup.
Or them both! Agreed.Quote:
