Hehe, .... it is hard to hit the gold standard for WC reviews established by master craftsmen in Oregon :)

Also, for the engineering nerds out there like myself, let me be a little more clear; The...

Review is finished and Revision 2.0 is the one Koolance should have released all along. 4.8 stars out of five to me, if not better. Excellent product.

Wiser - The reason that is not recommended...

Martinm is correct. I mentioned that I would have tested the HD with the new Swiftech radiators if they had sent me a test sample, which they did not. I assume Stephen or Gabe are not so happy that...

Finishing up testing and things have gone very well. Much, much better than with Revisions 1.0 to 1.3. Details tomorrow or Sunday.

Just went and read your 401X2 review Martinm. Hehe, so basically all the conclusions I am coming to, you already came to. LOL And I thought, all this going well and all, but wth, Martinm the over...

Matinm - To answer your question, the volutes are slightly different. The intake opening in Revision 2.0 is slightly larger than in my Revision 1.1. The pattern is cut slightly more spiral (more of...

Very clean and neat. What case is that, the Devil ? Maybe of interest to you and others here in the WC sub-forum, but there are derived laws (solved today by numerical analysis and often using...

I didnt use your method D749, as I like to test all products in what I call, "the lazy method". I started testing last night with one pump only and got a real scare in the first five minutes as the...

Let me start to address the questions asked:

SpillerTwo - The case I will be using is my home system which uses a Lian Li PC-A71F case (full tower). The rest of your questions, I am testing...

Fixed the pictures which were lost in the server move. More data and testing coming today.

Yes, I agree with you Martinm (provided testers use the OEM mounting hardware). Btw, are you having really long wait times to get into XS water cooling ? One moment, super fast and no problems, and...

To the many XS Water Cooling readers, this is why I controlled for mounting pressure exactly in the previous review of the Swiftech Apogee HD. When testing is done with the OEM mounting...

Some data, pics and posts were lost in this thread. I will give it a day or so, to see if XS can recover the lost info. Have not been able to connect to XS for pretty much the last three days. ...

Tue, Feb 21st, 2012 - Restarting the review due XS server moves and loss or prior information.

I will be looking at the new Revision 2.0 of the Koolance 452X2 reservoir (for dual D5 pumps) and...

Thanks for the reply Tim. With all due respect to Martinm, that was a personal review and not an engineering quality control test. The inverted operation should be okay but at the cost of increased...

I agree with your point about fitting two D5s into a pair of 5.25" bays. That is why I bought the 452X2 in the first place. As to the T-line, yes, that is what I, Martinm and many others have had...

Koolance - The reason to mount the pumps in the orientations shown by Laing if because the force (cross product from the right hand rule) generated by the magnetic field needs to either oppose...

Hey Stephen and Gabe - Good stuff gents. Try to get out all these nice goodies though before the Mayan Long Count calendar ends :) My lab is hoping to take advantage of new Swiftech schwag before...

After all these 452X2 reservoir threads, I am contemplating authoring a dense 400 to 700 page tome entitled "Finding Zen with your Dual D5 Koolance Reservoir". I personally dont think 400 pages is...

Odai, it is likely that you are experiencing cavitation due both pumps being in series with such short separation distance. This type of resonance can easily develop when one pump is say at 4800...

I suspect Aerial that 180mm will not become the standard. 90% of cases on the market have a tough time just fitting a 360mm rad, much less something larger. Everything outside of the MM and Devil...

The exact difference in cooling is very small. This is due mainly to moving water's capacity to release heat (ie hydrogen bonding and enthalpy content), and as Martinm points out to the fact that...

Thanks Bundy for the work. A few years back I was curious to test the ole Thermochill PA 120.3 versus the then fairly new XSPC RX 360 and the 360 actually came out on top for fan speeds up to about...

Added the results for the Koolance 370 cpu block. Which I like, but not as much as the XSPC Raystorm.

SonDa5 - The original post to start this thread is testing only with the Apogee HD in the...

I rarely do testing (this article was a rare exception) SonDa5 because it takes too much away from our regular research schedule. But in this rare case, just bc I am interested and can work on it in...
