Okay, let's put the fanboyism away for a second.
But before I start I'll make it clear I am neutal. I don't give a crap who makes the best stuff. I have a slight preference that it's British, second to that European, third to that not Amercian. But that aside...
I realise I've aleady posted several pages back on the validity of the Koolance tests, but with a bit more thought I'd like to add some more comments.
Previously I was playing Devils Advocate, i.e. I was not willing to accept that Koolance had completely rigged the tests. My reasons being that if you wanted an independant test of radiators the only place to go would be some place related to the Automotive industry, which in turn would, as we indeed have seen, result in test circumstances far removed to normal PC watercooling.
I am quite willing to accept that if Koolance wanted independant tests this was the only route open to them.
However, after giving it some thought, I absolutely and without any doubt state that Koolance knew these results were not typical to anywhere in the same ball park, PC watercooling. There is zero chance they didn't immediately recognise that the temps and airflow were far, far in excess of what is the absolute outside of what happens.
Given that they A) Did not acknowledge it, and B) Did not offer any kind of comparison to the figures that are commonly quoted in PC watercooling...
Then I deem, and I'll say it in court, that they were deliberately out to deceive. Which in my book is on the same page as lying.
It is not possible to judge if they intended to go out and seek these results, or if they ended up with these results and intended to publish them anyway.
But stuff it. They are attempting to deceive consumers, and that may not be illegal.
Koolance, this is the bit you'll want to take me to court for libel over : Your radiators in any conceivable circumstances are inferior. Your products under perform your competitors. Official Koolance product descriptions are misleading. Finally that Koolance are lying to customers
The statement " At best, we are left with the conclusion our original claim of outperforming the other brass/copper heat exchangers by only 39-49% was conservative." is a lie. It's only applicable outside of any reasonable application, something which Koolance should be well aware of. And by stating it they are saying that their products are superior to other products on the market. Since their products are inferior, then this will cause a negative impact on their competitors sales. This is libelous.
Anyway, Koolance. Sue me if you disagree.
