Looks interesting
hrm i know i've seen a tower cooler with similar staggered disk like fins before. I also seem to recall a concept sketch on these forums with them. I can't recall the pros/cons though.Quote:

Why couldn't they just post pictures instead of some lame flash. :rolleyes:
My question, exactly. It's like that damn music on their sites that just makes you want to smash your head against your keyboard.Quote:

OCM :up:
Have I just smashed my head against my keyboard? :D
The more interesting part is Iandh Pure-Sil coolant just below. Taken that his killcoil costs $6.50,
it definitely seems like they're charging $13 for distilled water which is ridiculous.
Well, it's certainly different than anything else currently on the market. . .but it's hardly a "radically new concept". I do wonder if they managed to get rid of the dead spot in the center that's inherent in all tube style rads with those folds.:confused:

Note the date on that post. All it really looks like to me is they redesigned the average household style radiator for the PC.
I'll say this though, those Triebwerks ought to be able to push through this pretty well. :rofl:
Looks nice but do you think they will perform well? I have always used their xchangers and have been happy..
heh if you read the post regarding all the steps in making it you'd understandQuote:

On the topic of the radiator, the curved sort of fins make me think fans will have an easier time getting static pressure as any airflow that gets through will be able to drag other cool air with it around the fins.
EDIT: That above line is confusing, but I just can't explain it any better : /
SO are you saying the design is BETTER then what current rads are like or?
From the images, it doesn't look like there are any "fins", those bulges are part of the copper(?) tubes.
Maybe I"m looking at it wrong :shrug:Quote:

I did and realized it's kinda old news.Quote:

make no mistake about that. Just an idea that I need $40 of coolant every
half a year makes me reject it. Or stick with it's killcoil.
Nuff with the constructive offtopic. :D
About the rad, seeing enough space between those 'tubes'. Probably low rpm fans optimized at last?
Not a distinctive Feser design. At least wasn't up to this moment.
good news, looking forward for some numbers

I'm guessing that not plain form of fins might cause a bit more turbulence enhancing heat dissipation (most air coolers have different from straight rectangle shaped fins aswell, though possibly partially because of looks aswell), but i doubt it resulting in something noticeably better cooling wise then normal rads. Almost certainly not enough better to justify double the price (pure speculation, by guessing that non standart rad making technology might be more expensive and knowing Feser's love to overcharge for overhyped products).
Feser= Bradburyfail
...and anyone else notice the ironic use of an Olde Englishe font on their "German Engineering (!)" slide.
I think I'd rather gouge out my retinas with an icepick than sit through that again.
Ah, I hadn't seen that picture! They sorta look like rolled heatpipes in a way...Quote:

Interesting... Doesn't intuitively seem like enough surface area, but we will see. Perhaps optimized for really low fan speeds. Round tubes should be good for low restriction internally and the tubes externally seem to be spaced apart that they probably don't restrict fans much either.
Very different..Look forward to seeing some testing on these..
That's what you call diplomatic.........Quote:

But this looks like something different if testers I trust end up testing this I might given them a Run. I dear say there going to used in a few builds Just for looks.
Anyone taking a guess at the pricing on these? I will start off with a guess at $250 for a single 120mm rad and up from there. :D
Get more investigations.
It seems their radiators is a real innovation
