New XSPC rads Coming soon.

medium-high speed at low noise is attainable with quite a few fans out there. So, "LOUD", I tend to disagree there.

Low noise is subjective to each person as I have not heard any fan @1800 RPM that can not be heard from six feet away in a quiet room. Now imagine six of them… NOISY

I have two systems in one room, one running three Noctua's @ 900 RPM and one running three GentleTyphoon's @ 800 RPM and all I hear is a DDC pump in one of the systems. Any higher fan speeds than that I can hear them as they get too loud for my taste.

can anyone know when the release date of new radiators??

[PatRaceTin]

ืnot my preference haha

Looks like the high speed fan optimized (High Density) double thickness sister rad to the RX. Too bad they don't offer an unpainted fins version, I kind of like the copper look.

FYI, found this little tidbit on OCN:

And now that I look at that second photo again I guess it does look a bit slimmer. May be a slim thickness high density flavor..

I'm with gcpu though, I can't stand any fan over 1000RPM no matter what fan....so I favor the slow speed options. Not that there isn't a desire for high speed though, I still "hear" about people running 3000+RPM fans. Even more that are perfectly fine with GT15s at full speed where higher density does make more sense.

Yes, the EX is definitely a thinner rad than the RX. That I can confirm.

If this comes in 560mm I will probably pick one up since aqua comp doesn't have them yet

[mclarenfung]

i gotta know the pricing and performance

Thanks!
Hopefully you can find the time to squeeze in Swiftech's offering as a comparison. I know they were looking for some review on that, and I'm just not setup nor do I have a test method I'm really happy with anymore. I tore down my old bench to scavenge a few temp sensor for pump heat testing.

You're the man when it comes to precision rad testing..
Always appreciate your work!!
Cheers!

I am going to take a guess here. But chances are it is cheaper to fabricate a thinner radiator w/ a higher FPI than it is to build a thicker radiator w/ a lower FPI.

Actually, I believe it has to do strictly with the amount of metals involved as well as types. Thinner radiators use less precious metals

[M_T_M]

which radiator is better XSPC EX or Ekwaterblocks XTX?

[xEnergie]

I'm looking to match up some fans to this radiator. What would you suggest for low speed/silence as a preference?

[Evantaur]

just ordered 2 of these
