Danger Den will be the fist to have the Thermochill radiators in stock in the United States.
All I can say for now is that it will be a while before they have any in stock.
its actually slightly cheaper to order directly from thermochill anyways. came out to 116 shipped from UK to NY. So you might save about 15 to 20 dollars.
Yea, but it will be about the same price, and I had a post with a little "theory" on the cost being cheaper from thermochills site :)
HE120.3 costs 119 from DD. The PA120.3 costs about an extra US10 (4 British Pounds) or so according to Maci. Not sure how much the mark up is so DD doesnt lose sales on the HE120.3, maybe an extra 20 to 30 dollars? But Let's assume the mark up is only the 10 US dollars+shipping of about 8 to 9 dollars, your looking at about 20 dollars savings at the minimum.
1: The PS120 (P-erformance S-hroud) DOES NOT FIT the new PA120 series of rads, and isn't necessary or required. A new shroud will be release for the PA120 series in a few weeks. The PS120 is only for HE120 series rads.
2: DangerDen appear to have confused PS120 with PA120 going off the quoted e-mail.
It might be a dum question, but if it isn't necessary why release one then? :confused:Quote:

And how are the tests going? Will you d00ds post them up on here when they come in?
I think the idea here is that its not needed/required, but if I were to guess, there is probably some performance gain to using the shroud with low speed fans over using without. Like I said, just a guess, so feel free to smack me if I'm wrong. :DQuote:

Yup.Quote:

Cos folks seem to want `em and it's no biggy to produce em.Quote:

My PA's are currently sitting in NY as per Parcelforce, and I'll not have anything working for a while even after getting them in (building my first WC rig from ground up), but I will post up some picks of them when they do show up for your drooling pleasure. :slobber: ;)Quote:

An e-mail is generally auto-despatched containing tracking details.
If you haven't got one, fire an e-mail to info@thermochill.com quoting your order number asking for a resend...
Once you get the tracking number, you can track the packages on the Parcelforce website here: Parcelforce
As for my package, it is now in the hands of the delivery agent, which begs the question; who is the delivery agent in the USA? Does this switch over to a local carrier like UPS, FedEx, DHL or USPS? Just curious is all, if anyone knows.
Well Id get the PA but Im wanting more of a performance rather than silent cooling.
Im going to be putting 3 130 cfm deltas on my radiator so im wanting whatever will giv eme the best performance + will use these fans to their fullest potential.
Err, nevermind. USPS just delivered the PA's to my house. :woot:
Parcelforce still shows w/ delivery agent in NY, but with it being the USPS, I'm not surprised.
Pic's to follow when I get home later tonight.
when did u order it?
Tuesday morning of last week, which is to say, right after they posted them up for ordering. :comp10:
PA120.3 or HE120.3 will both be very close with those fans I'd bet. I still think you're nuts for wanting deltas, but experiments in levitation are fun i guess.Quote:

For most things that'll mean a ~2C rise of water temps above ambient under full load when cooling the CPU only, and a ~3C rise of water temps above ambient if cooling a GPU as well.
Sure, I understand the desire to chase down the last 0.2-1.0C as much as the next guy, and in fact pursue this goal almost fanatically (all those 0.2-1.0C points do start to add up to something significant if they come from everything), but to do so by using insanely loud fans that are almost guaranteed to cause tinnitus, then that's where I draw the line between fanaticism, and common sense.
Well said!!

If the PA and HE are about the same ( waiting for tests ) then ill go PA just for reasons Master G said. :)
but still 116 is expensive, but so is the best ;).
