so they're going to be releasing flexible radiators? man, it's about time :rofl:
Pretty *I am such a nerd*.
Aren't we all.......
Do you need flexible fans for those flexible radiators?
*drool*
2nd pic looks like they're going after the GTS or GTX, fins are pretty dense.:stick:

Kinda remind me of the old HE120.1 :).
Looks like the high speed fan optimized (High Density) double thickness sister rad to the RX. Too bad they don't offer an unpainted fins version, I kind of like the copper look.
Hmm, that could be wished from all the other rad vendors too. I still recall magicool plexi elegant rad having unpainted fins and beating all the other rads , so wonder how much paint takes from heat dissipation efficiency. If not the cracking problem of it's plexi inlet end, that very probably would be THE rad to get.
Yes, higher FPI than the RX line, and two rows of fins per tube.... back to the lab for me. :)
Oh btw, yes, my summer vacation is over now, back to normal.
skinnee: and oh when you'll finally post results of EK's v2 rads? :)
I have a lot of radiator data queued up (I may have been away from posting, but not testing), along with a new comparison in the same style as Vapor has been doing. I'm sticking with this radiator procedure for a while. I'm venturing into shroud and 1080 testing too, and the procedure scales nicely to those platforms too.
Sorry for the OT.
How soon is soon??? I was about to order all the water cooling parts for my build...
First the XSPC CPU Block and now this... Maybe I should wait a bit more :D
it's not like your RX performance would suddenly start to suck, still a nice radiator :up:Quote:

I buy xspc but but I wonder if it pays to wait for the new radiator xspc?
Even if new rads are marginally better imho no need to wait, as i doubt in revolutionary performance inrease for rads however unconventional their design might be. +If you were considering current XSPC rads like RS or RX, which are sparse finned ones, then i'd be vary of fact that new ones might be dense finned ones with bad low-rpm/quiet fans performance.
I look at the EX (and other slims) a different way in the current radiator marketplace... Slim's are there for space constraints mostly, and we want the dissipation capability of a PA/RX/etc. in that form factor. So, in order to do that, you've gotta try and get your radiator core to fit the various fan speeds out there. Swiftech did very well with their MCR-QP... remdinds me, I need to schedule their new one yet.
Anyhow, we'll have to wait on the numbers that are logging now. :p:
From what has been said here it seems to be a clear decision, do you want low fan speed performance, then go with the RX. If you want LOUD high speed performance (ala GTX) then wait…Quote:

I have two systems in one room, one running three Noctua's @ 900 RPM and one running three GentleTyphoon's @ 800 RPM and all I hear is a DDC pump in one of the systems. Any higher fan speeds than that I can hear them as they get too loud for my taste.
can anyone know when the release date of new radiators??
ืnot my preference haha

And now that I look at that second photo again I guess it does look a bit slimmer. May be a slim thickness high density flavor..:confused:
I'm with gcpu though, I can't stand any fan over 1000RPM no matter what fan....so I favor the slow speed options. Not that there isn't a desire for high speed though, I still "hear" about people running 3000+RPM fans. Even more that are perfectly fine with GT15s at full speed where higher density does make more sense.
Yes, the EX is definitely a thinner rad than the RX. That I can confirm.
If this comes in 560mm I will probably pick one up since aqua comp doesn't have them yet :(
i gotta know the pricing and performance
Thanks!Quote:

You're the man when it comes to precision rad testing..:)
Always appreciate your work!!:up:
Cheers!:toast2:

why is the price radiators EX very low to the RX??
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...page=1&sort=5d
I am going to take a guess here. But chances are it is cheaper to fabricate a thinner radiator w/ a higher FPI than it is to build a thicker radiator w/ a lower FPI.Quote:

I'm looking to match up some fans to this radiator. What would you suggest for low speed/silence as a preference?
just ordered 2 of these :up:
