Any thoughts on this?

[WhiteFireDragon]

what's the difference between the regular monsta and this lite version if both accept 3 x140mm fans? is it the thickness of the rad?

Yep, the thickness. It's right in between the thickness of the average rad and the Monsta.

[Noisy]

It is quite capable rad, but the price is on the premier side.

Two bonus include taking either 140 or 120 mm fan, and 2 additional g1/4 on the side, which does come in handy in certain mounting location.

hmmmmmmmm is it worth it though id jump on it if itd be a good first rad

[Waterlogged]

If you really don't mind paying a whole lot more for average performance. . .sure , go ahead. Me personally, I'd rather buy 2 MCR480's from P-PC's for a little less and get overwhelming bang for the buck.

Is that Swiftech a dual-pass?

[skinnee]

only one radiator I can think of that is not dual pass... that HWLabs with barb ports on the opposing tanks, Cross Flow or something like that... I'm too lazy to look.

You could argue on the HWLabs GTX about being dual pass, but it is.

[ScottALot]

skinnee, do you think you'll be reviewing one of these?

[skinnee]

I won't be testing/reviewing the Monsta Lite, with only 150 being produced for global distribution there really wasn't a good reason for TFC or Frozen CPU to have one sent over.

My guess on performance would be slightly better than the regular X-Changer across all fan speeds. And that is seriously a guess based on photos, dimensions and what not.

I couldn't agree more
Bragging rights never seemed worthy paying a great deal of dough to me.

Love the gaskets as well. Bit to pricey for me, although a great design.

[Sadasius]

What I do like about these rads is the gaskets and a choice between fan sizes.

Yup, I am heading over to there site and see if they sell the gaskets only for my next build.

The two bottom things... are those what you're talking about?

I reviewed the pre-version of the Monsta Lite some month ago with 15 other Rads for 140mm fans - just check the results for yourself Imo it´s not worth buying it !
