Thermalfins radiators

[zalbard]

Often european rad vendor rads are cheaper in europe side of pond LC shops then swiftech's though. So it's not exactly world dominating, but close

Unlike these new Coolgate rads that are made in EU but are also more expensive in EU than in US (and actually end up being the most expensive rads around).

zalbard: I meant EK/Phobya/Magicool and alike.

[zalbard]

Yeah, I am just complaining for the sake of complaining. Price gouging is

[SpuTnicK]

Who says Coolgate are made in Europe? just because the press release is both in German and English, it does not say they are made in Europe. Or I am missing something?
And price wise, don't forget about presence of VAT for Europe

now VAT is a pain.... both in a serious sense.. and pun sense..

[JoeBar]

HW-labs??

Dude they been in the game a very very very long time.
Its the first rad company Danger Den paired up with.

I didn't meant HW-Labs, but the rad itself...

[Martinm210]

Are there any performance results yet up on these?

[skinnee]

I should be getting one soon, it will go on the bench as soon as it arrives.

Looking good!

I can't hide anywhere from you can I?

[SpuTnicK]

nope
i am everywhere

So with those tubes all being sequential flow with loads of 90's to connect them does anyone else worry its perhaps going to be just a teeny bit restrictive? Thats gotta be at least 5 metres of tube in there. Better have good head pressure to shift a large air pocket too. Worse heat exchange wasnt the only drawback of the old tube and fin cube style rads compared to cores.

Either way, price fail. I'll take 4 MCR320s instead plz.

Maybe something interesting by Watercool

It's german so you should use google translate, but there are enough pictures + numbers

Interesting...thanks!

Hmm, i can easily imagine that "Extended" 6 section rad in something like aquacomputer's external rad setups, would look nice near Hi-Fi speakers, imho much better then some squared Mo-Ra alikes.

[skeyo]

You can extend it to be room length, put in on ceiling, and put some LED fans on rad

Man...that's one heck of a tease.

[bundymania]

Here it is



This radgril "protoype" was in the package aswell, maybe it´s available in the future:



...like the design ?



rubber stands for the radiator:





and more pics from the rad:










as you can see, the Thermalfins Logo is on 1 side only:

Need performance numbers!

[meanmoe]

Looks like poor space utilization to me. The numbers better sing.

[Martinm210]

Thanks for the pictures Bundy, look forward to your results!

Can't say it any better.

[masska]

The workmanship/finish looks pretty damn good. Lets wait for the numbers now and if they perform as good as they look,,, I will certainly be supporting them.

[c.ruel]

Assuming this thing performs well (big if), I hope they get the smaller sizes out pretty fast.

Also I am really grateful to all the testing people have done in their own time with little or no reimbursment but there is little testing on (that I can find at least) regarding slim radiators with fans in push pull vs thick radiators with fans in pull. This becomes even more relevant with the thermal fins radiator. Just assume for a moment that the thermal fins performs better than an SR-1 at low speed, like an RX at mid speed and better than a GTX at full speed. But does it perform better than those radiators when they have two fans and it only has one? That is the acid test because it is going to cost way more than any of the current "thick" radiators and take up just as much room as one of the current "thick" radiators with fans in push pull.

Radiators seem to be getting thicker and thicker but there is no testing comparing thin radiators with two sets of fans which cost half the price of thick radiators with one set of fans, which occupy the same amount of space. I am just amazed that none of the manufacturers have commissioned this research themselves.

Purdy .
Can't wait to see what she does.

I'm looking forward to these when I step up to water cooling someday.
I'll be using a couple 120mm ver's in parallel though.
Lined up together in series, with a fan inbetween each rad.
From the front of my case to the back .
That's my plan anyways, but I'm to poor to implement it right now.
But someday.


It's nice to finally see a new tech...
