Except for the bling, is there any reason (i.e. better temps etc.) why one would want to use shrouds?

afaik, a space between the rad and the fans indeed provides better airflow. Feser claims that 27mm is the minimum for optimal fan performance.
(Not sure, but I also think they're more important for rads that have denser fin setups than low resistance ones like fesers and maybe thermochills.)
Edit: just read a short blurb on feser's forum that a triple feser rad showed 1.8C temp diff with/without xtender shrouds. Test details not yet out.

I guess i'm the only one that thinks the shroud is a bit overboard? I don't mean to be negative but it seems like they prioritize style before substance
I am eagerly awaiting the 480 rad though..

shrouds allows for more of the cooling fins to be exposed to air movement thus lower temps
my 302 heatercore shoud is just over 1.5" which is pretty thick.

Speaking of the tubing, does anyone know the ETA on the feser uv purple 3/8" ID in any of the shops in or around the US?
I've tried a lot of different red combos, dyes, tubing + dye, and it all pretty much sucks under uv.
Then i tryed the red uv feser tubing, because i have nothing to lose with my "so-so" red uv loop.
It's by far the most red out there, well for the time being.
So now i'm ready to instal a second loop, and if the purple uv looks any where as good as the red.
I'm game for some purple goodness.![]()

technical sheet for the 480 already on the feser site

Looks nice, but at those prices I prefer TC's.. And 480.. That would maybe be usefull for triple SLI and CPU and mobo, but then the last parts in the loop would get some pretty hot water.. I would prefer 140mm wide rads instead![]()

It's not thermochill, its not Feser, its definatley not Koolance.. its HW LabsI'd imagine that pair of laing ddc 3.2 ultras with tops, should provide enough flow for three gtx280 blocks, cpu block, and maybe the northbridge block on the striker extreme. I mean, what else could you possibly use this for?

I'm with you though, I'm waiting for 140mm Radiators, although I want a 420 rad. This thing is 600mm Long....Basically impossible to internally mount.
Now if only my account could get validated..

wow thats something!
But the lack of 140mm fans in the market is a bummer.

I have been promised to receive one if Martin (feser martin, nog liquidlab) has enough of them.
Just received the 120 yesterday and some shrouds. I'm up for a nice test with 120, 240 and a 360 with and without shrouds.

FrozenCPU is there main intrance into the US and you cant pre-order....... sux
Does anyone have a street date for the Shrouds?
Thanks
Look at the difference. That grill is not exacting at all. 1mm bars with 2.5mm spacing.
that sure is pretty
