Hehe it seems this thread will be constantly brought back up as people accidentally find it while searching but to summarise: ThermoChill is having a hard time meeting supply for demand of 120.X series and will not be designing a new rad any time new <<< That was the bottom line of the previous discussion, chances are it's still valid...
On a personal note, the case I'm planning to buy already has mounting holes for 140mm fans, I just wish I would get a rad to make more use of them XD
True, true. Let us engage in some friendly social discourse!Quote:

We are at the moment working on a new design that will increase the performance of our radiators. At the moment though this is only in the prototype stage and is very hush hush. The performance increase has to match any significant costs in production. We will probably see a 120.4 version to cope with the extremes of today's processors and graphics cards. We are looking towards a big performance increase and not just a slight increase, so we might be a while before we achieve this. But hopefully not too long.
I could use a good PA140.3 to mount on top of my Antec P190 case.
:ROTF: We will never see the end of this thread... which is great:yepp:!
I was planning on having 2 loops in my new setup, one for my 2xGPUs, and one for my CPU (and maybe NB), using TWO 2x120x38mm rads... but, I don't feel like squeezing it all into a case, and truly want the best single rad out there that can fit inside the top of my Rocketfish Lian-Li case. I want something that will provide enough for a dual GPU + quad CPU system that I may have in the future. Otherwise, I gotta do 2 separate loops (which sounds stupid for a nice fit in a case)Quote:

The newest Lian Li huge towers use a row of 140mm fans in their front door. It would be a real dream if a radiator fitted on these without any modification... wink wink. The fan bolt hole spacing is of importance there (for dual and above).
We will never give up!Quote:

lol. I never thought of that. It would be amazing if a company did thatQuote:

well shure. but it dont think any case would fit it internally as it would be too long. 120.4 is about as long as i would go... 140.4/120 would work tho...
How's come Marci doesn't come by XS anymore?:(

It wasnt too friendly...
In fact any thread about the Apogee GTX alu top and corrosion would be a good place to look and see what this place was like for a while.
He posted 3 days ago....
No doubt Marci will keep an eye on this thread. Though i doubt he'll have any extra time to produce that 140.x series, he's got enough trouble producing enough 120.x's for everyone.
A good idea for ANY hardware outlet would be to produce:
* rad grills with mounting bolt holes that fit the Thermochills (and holes to mount everything on a case panel)
* shrouds that have 140mm fan holes (that would ideally match the Lian Li 140mm front fan pattern)
* conversion shrouds / brackets to mount the PA series vertically in 5.25" bays, or other places (tops of some watercooling-ready cases)
I 'd buy one,I thought it will be cool.
well this thread was stared in March, the last post(one above) was mid august...
Any new news on the PA140.x?
myself I'd be interested in a couple PA140.1, that is what i have room for, and only cool my CPU & NB
too bad they rate threads in stars instead of...:horse::horse::horse::horse::horse:
Unfortunately, the only real source we (XS) had inside TC was Marci and he no longer works there. TC is also under new ownership from what we hear and the new owner and their intentions are not known at this time.Quote:

Besides, my MCR320 isn't nearly filling up my case width. A 140mm would be awesome.
Im sure they have new desings but I dont think anything is going to happen until supply catches up to demand on there current product line. (wich is still a top performer in its form factor)
