'New' Thermochill TA120.x series - any ideas?

[NaeKuh]

I miss the OMGBBQWTF one.

oh i need to refind that one.. lol..

[Sparky]

i cant find a platinum ziptie to replace the silver one.



i get bored with avatars... i may find a new one later on.

Heh, every time I change mine on here I get comments about I shouldn't have changed it, I'm not recognized, they liked my old one (current) better, etc... So I just leave it

Which is fine as I like it anyway.

I like that one too. Was pretty epic the first time nik said that too.

[Church]

That's why i'd prefer seeing NaeKuh reverting to that sleepy anime girl avatar

[Alexandr0s]

Lol, I don't really care which Avatar you use Naekuh, your crazy deity style is pretty recognizable.

[SiGfever]

Nik is Da Man!

Although he did cost me a U2-UFO.

[Waterlogged]

Oh come on, You WON a Twice7!

He found it.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Too bad 2/3rds of the forum wasnt here for that moment.

He found it.

Yeah... i remembered the past.
With this avatar i had my most funniest moments on the forum.


OK so keeping ontopic.

I was talking to skineee, and I think he is getting a sample.
But waiting for it.

So when he comes back on wednesday, we can bug the living crap out of him on it.

Deal?

[Alexandr0s]

Sounds like a plan. Poor Skinnee wont know what hit him .

+1,actually i liked it better

[SpuTnicK]

So how about those rads, any more info?

[Johnny87au]

Maby a steam train?

[rioja]

any updates there?
aquatuning has no pa series already and wates new on 08/25/10



interesting, will it be slim or same 6cm thick?

ah what i found

You'll find out soon, skinnee has been sent a test sample. So expect results in the coming weeks/months.

skinnee where are you?

[bentleya]

Rioja, Why are you quoting something i said on another forum?. And yes it is a thick rad which has G1/4 threads, which should perform better than the PA Series.

[WaterFlex]

TA 120.4 is for me

[rioja]

for those who wants to grab last old scool pa radiators it seems that sidewinder is the last shop that has them in stock
and now pa series officially is gone and ta series is entering to the scene

Interesting, still looks similar...but a little different:

[ScottALot]

At least there's no aluminum *looks at Feser and sighs*

(we established there was aluminum in the channels, no?)

[Erdrick1980]

...i may be wrong by saying this, but won't you loose performance on that new radiator design? what i mean is, wont some of the air escape through the gaps and instead of being sealed and going through the fins? but then again, i'm a noob so it might be a stupid question...

[Alexandr0s]

Though I can't say for sure, the fins on the TA series seem to be more widely spaced.

[sn0man]

Though I can't say for sure, the fins on the TA series seem to be more widely spaced.

They're both 10fpi as far as I can tell:

[rioja]

I didn't get what do they mean by these 'duals' when saying

Dual row, dual pass, triple 120mm fan radiator

Is there dual pass in pa series also?

[Marci]

but won't you loose performance on that new radiator design? what i mean is, wont some of the air escape through the gaps and instead of being sealed and going through the fins?

Yes, if you don't seal the airgap (I presume you mean the gaps in each corner between the fold for the mountpoint and the endtank) you will lose airflow and therefore performance. Part of the PAs design was to minimise all air-losses hence they were intended to always be supplied and used with a gasket between fan and rad to seal any gaps, so all air from fans had no choice but to
head thru the fins.

I didn't get what do they mean by these 'duals' when saying

"Dual row, dual pass, triple 120mm fan radiator "

Search dual row pass on these forums and it should bring up plenty of posts explaining it.

All ThermoChill rads (up to my leaving) other than the PA160 were dual row dual pass (altho Cathar has a triple row prototype we made which was intended for release as the PA140 once further testing had been done... that one never saw the light of day commercially what with the rush to satisfy demand for a 140mm rad apparently surpassing the need to bring one out that was actually designed properly for the purpose - think he'd managed to pull out another 5% over standard PA120 series with that design)

It is nice to see you around here Marci
