Oh man I can't wait to see how this performs as my current build is probably going to see an upgrade to the GPU to a 4870x2 and it would eliminate the need for me to have an external radbox :O

Since I don't feel like reading through 10000x pages, do we need our own fittings if gabe doesn't include any? Like would I need say 4x compression fittings and then a bit of tubing between them correct? Also, this may sound stupid as I never explored rad sandwiching but how would you mount the fans? I'm assuming you don't screw them in to both sides so.....:confused:

He is going to be including a set of 4 fittings with the new rads so no further purchase is needed. The first half of this thread was figuring out if they were to be included or not.

Any testing yet? I'm doing a new build, and going back and forth between an MCR240 stack against the RX240. Same price...

Any chance Skinnee will be getting a sample to test?

I would really love to see some numbers on this thing stacked.

Not too shaby buddy :clap::clap:

but space, space, space, you need alotoff as my Russian cousin used to say..or was it in in that funny Austin Power movie (the spie that shagged me or something) with that girl called Allotava Gina ?

on a much more serious note, what you have is what we call a parallel air with a serial coolant setup. can you measure the water-temp delta switching from parallel/serial to parallel/parallel, it shouldn't be too difficult to do. in other words, leave your fans as they are, but just switch the coolant so it flows parallel..

i hope it's not rude to post .. but give this a thought

a length of MCR320 is 410mm right? fans 25mm thick, MCR is 34mm thick ..

how bout ..

MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan
= 34(7) + 25(7)
= 413mm (wind tunnel?)

just a thought ... :lol2:

ps: you could stack 4xMCR320 below TJ07

Lol ^^
16.5 inches long, its possible to do if you really need to lol.
20.1 inches long for 38mm fans. Use 7 high speed panaflows.
I wonder how restriction and how the temps would be likes lol.

Imagine what you could do with a mountain mods case lol.

Someone create a dual top mod for a RD30!

It only makes sense to include plugs. If you dont, customers are going to purchase it and then get all pissed off that they dont have the required hardware to stack their rads. Besides, no one would be purchasing a stackable radiator unless they were going to stack it, or were retarded in which case they should be charged the extra money for being stupid.

And yes I voted Gabe.

Holy snap Gabe!!! Thats amazing!
I have 2x MCR320's. 2x MCR220's. and MCR120, I think I'll now have to get two of these stackable MCR320's. xD

Your awesome!!

Edit: Wait, how do you put screws in for the fans in between?

Easy....Allan head cap screws. You can get the screw in and the allan key has an angle to fit. Might be a little trickier with 25mm fans though.

How hard is it to remove a snap rivet and once removed can it be reused?

+1

I'd hate to end out damaging a radiator because the rivet is stuck on too tight. I have one MCR320....a stackable unit would be a nice addition. Would 3 YateLoon mid-level fans work well with a stacked pair of MCR320s???
