I'm more interested in the MCR XP (extreme performance)

damn, beat me to it lol. I had 2 or 3 reply windows open and I didn't refresh the thread before I posted : )

Perfect timing, about to build two watercooling system. I hope Gabe keeps the price cheap.

Can't wait to see what they have in store there. If the slim thickness QP model pretty much keep up with the double thickness competition, then these should be interesting..

[kinghong1970]

i wonder how thick will their 140's be... i'd love to see a 140's that's same thickness as their current ones with the same "best bang for the buck" concept...

[ScottALot]

Swiftech makes some good rads for low RPM fans, 140mm radiators are usually made for quieter fans... fantastic combination, I want in!

[Boogerlad]

I just hope they reduce the restriction by making the endtanks a bit bigger.

Theoretically the only advantage increasing thickness should give is reduced pressure drop, so I wouldn't actually expect much of a performance increase over a standard MCR (a couple of % max) unless they integrate a shroud into the design.

If that's your only concern, I'd say they've hit the mark pretty good on their products

I'm with you... I'm not sure XP even means double thickness or something else...just speculating. Now that they are moving onto 140mm rads, maybe the 120XP means 140mm rad width shrouded and to length for 120mm fans, or maybe that AND double thickness... I'm sure it'll be an improvement over the QP line which is already an excellent rad and performer.

[Aaronharmon]

You know, Gabe could just weigh in on this and put all the speculation to rest. Just sayin : )

[Church]

I doubt he's very happy with news leaking that soon (i'm partially to blame with it, as i posted about noticing these 140mm rads when quickly browsed through new site he worked on mentioned in one other thread). I hope he won't get any punishment for that by higher-ups.

[SpuTnicK]

Or maybe he wants to know our opinion on upcoming rad, ideas, design, features.... and stick to WC community desires

If only Nidec Servo got off their ass and made a 140mm version of Gente Typhoon instead of crazy high RPM version...

Yeah, they could've released different color versions before making loud-as-a-room-full-of-server-loud versions, too. But no, black should mean crazy loud instead .

[Martinm210]

Another XP possibility could just be the same QP core, but higher density fins for more high speed optimization..

Gabe is the "higher up" lol

Thing is 99% of their business is sever/enterprise. Not much call for 140mm fans in that market. The 120 GT's are adapted from their enterprise products by Scythe for retail.
Unless they know they will sell minimum 100,000 140mm fans, it's not going to happen.
Sanyo Denki has several 140mm models, but the fans do not exist until a minimum order of 24 is received, then they make the fans to order. Takes over 3 months, & ass load of cash up front to get them.

Sad but true, just not a big enough market for Nidec to do it.

This is no excuse for the missing 2150rpm GT 120mm though.

I once had two 140mm fans pulled from Thermaltake PSUs. They blow some great air. To bad I can't find them sold without the PSU. Does anyone know who makes them for TT? These would work well with a 140 RAD or dual 140 size RAD being 280.

Oh? It seems they just manufacture fans anywhere from 40mm-172mm, in addition to their good selection of blowers and an excellent range of DC motors and drivers.

Notably absent from their lineup are, however, 140mm fans.

...because it's like what the finisher said, there isn't much call for 140mm fans in the server industry side of computers. Why waste development/tooling dollars on a fan that doesn't fit your clients needs? Let's not also forget that (for some reason), the fan manu's are rather slow to adopt sizes (however popular with the enthusiast). I started building my own computers in '99 and most cases still had 80mm holes in them. If you wanted to use a 120mm, you had a very limited selection (which weren't that good but, still better than a 80mm for noise) and you had to make your own hole for it. It took a long time for 120mm fans to get "decent" and they are still improving them to this day.

[iddqd]

So you're saying there's a big demand for 40x40x13mm fans in the server market?

[Church]

iddqd: for 1U servers, why not? Especially when acceptable noise levels in server markets are much much higher then for consumerish PC residing in bedroom
