    That wont come close to a fuzion type performer. Not near the SA as the others. It should be pretty interesting however. Is there a nozzle?

    It will be interesting to see how they perform, I wonder how restrictive it will be.

    I wonder how it'll perform, doesn't look like it would compare to the fuzion/GT/GTX blocks. However I could be wrong, I'm not exactly a pro at waterblock design

    I'd like to see what the inlet looks like, as in, whether is uses jets or just a straight inlet or what? So far, it looks like a AquaXtreme MP05 block, but with more micro channels.

    Hey you're right, I see that. I wonder if Petra is aware of that, that's cool

    Nice kink in the tubing though, brilliant, nice job thermalright

    I'm not so sure it is. You can see where the 4 screws go.



    I'm not sure if those are screws heads or not but...you definitely don't see that on Petra's top.

    Those passive rads are pretty interesting... anyone know where they come from? Or are they just custom made?

    Hmm I see that, yeah not a petra's top. Oh well.

    Looks like they had put coolsleeves on the tubing - a whole 2 inches worth they need to put a little more on methinks

    Hmmm... those rads look like something taken from an 80's sci-fi film

    I'd really like to see how they perform. Is not like they'd fit in anything I've got in mind atm, but still, I feel curious.

    It is indeed. It looks nothing like the passive rads I've seen so far (which is probably a good thing given their underwhelming performance).

    Rofl.

    Actually I can't tell if that block will suck or not. Aren't the "fins" (or whatever you call the protrusions inside the block) awfully dense/compact" Seems that flow would be terrible.

    Looks like ThermalRight is going to enter the watercooling market.

    Yeah, the bracket is in the shape of the block with two holes for the barbs. It was in a pic in the other thread.

    @MaxxxRacer thanks for cleaning up the thread

    Wonder if Thermalright will give a backplate so it can be hard mounted.

    Ditto! Love the mods here (and sorry for my part in the previous derailment.)

    Anyway will be interesting to see how the block performs in real testing. The internals just look so odd to my novice eyes.

    I just appologize for not being able to take care of the thread cleanup.

    but when I did get to it, i merged both threads and removed any and all reference to koolance or flaming.

    lets try to stay on topic this time!

    My thoughts on their new products
    1. Their "radiator" looks interesting but wont be terribly effecient.
    2. The acrylic in the radiator will probably end up cracking and leaking over time
    3. Assuming there is a jet inlet on the waterblock it should perform well. The main thing is getting the cooling patch large enough for dual die (dont know the dimmensions as of yet)
