Feser Monsta Pics

[Fr3ak]

I am surprised how many of you guys judge a upcoming product based on some pictures of an early prototype that have been leaked. I recently made a radiator roundup with rads from Thermochill, Hwlabs. TFC and others and the Xchanger 480 showed the most impressive delta I have ever seen. The Xchanger 360 was slightly worse than a PA120.3 at low fan speed, high fan speed showed identical water temperatures.

I will be getting the radiator shown in the pictures next week to compare it to a Mo-Ra 2 Pro and other huge radiators. I don't know about you guys, but I buy a radiator based on performance numbers, not thickness or looks. Though I have to admit, that I like the carbon side panels a lot. Oh, and it is real carbon, not some fake, fyi.

People that are worried about whether their fans will be strong enough for the monsta should probably take a loke at the Triebwerk from TFC: http://www.pcgameshardware.de/aid,66...diatorluefter/

I will post the results of my testing right after I am done with the latest issue of PC Games Hardware Extreme. Until then, don't get mad about some pictures It would have been boring if the monsta was another Black Ice GTX/PA/Xchanger look-a-like, wouldn't it? =)

Who's mad?

I laughed.

I can already hear the tecno-Marlboro man saying "M-m-m-monsta!"

Nice big fans they have there.

However, I stand by my statement. Finding fans with enough static pressure and flow to get through that with what is currently available is gonna be hell. When the Triebework comes out, that may solve the problem right there. Until the, 140mm fans aren't really hardcore, and the really hardcore 120mm fans are both expensive and jet engines.

Do I think it's a good idea? Yes, this coming from the person with 12 120s worth of rad in his setup. I simply wonder if the rest of the industry is set up to deal with it. Cases, fans, possibly even some pumps-I'd love a flow path on this beeyotch. Don't misinterpret what I said-I want this to come to market. I want there to be continued innovation, and hopefully some of it will even be mine. However, to look at a product, look at what is available and say "I'm not sure we can use this right yet" isn't bashing, but rather prudent caution.

In short, let this get to market, with its fans, and then we'll see.

Till then, I'm gonna go hug my GTX480 some more.

[bentleya]

the fans are amazing the first sample was made last week, and looks really promising i cant wait

[shoopdawoopa]

That rad is quite rad, oh haha its a pun, god I kill myself!

If you look carefully, it does look like there's two radiators sandwitched together, (there's a centre column separating the fins), probably rigged to the same flow...

[Eddie3dfx]

I dig the side panels. Makes it much easier to mount on the side because of the pre-drilled screw holes

[mstrmold]

Between the Monsta's physical size and the size fans you'll need to move enough static pressure, it may require a new Monsta™ case to go with it.

Damn though, I'll be watching for the results of this bad boy regardless.

[MJR]

yeah, results are going to be important with this thing.

Doesn't look like 2 rads to me, but you bring up a good point that will be answered by performace or lack of.

I wonder how these undervolt : http://db.sanyodenki.co.jp/product_d...master_id=2514

[geoffsthaboss]

i bet those fans are going to cost like $45 a piece...
that and i bet the monsta is going to be close to a $200 rad


exciting and all until i think about whats in my wallet

[T_Flight]

I wonder how these undervolt : http://db.sanyodenki.co.jp/product_d...master_id=2514

Wow! I think we have a winner.

I guess the question is would these be unobtanium like the 120's are?

Let's bet they'll cost 15 bucks in quantity that way somebody won;t see this thread and say "hey, they'll pay 45 bucks...45 it is." hehe

[alacheesu]

Nice. Look forward to some results.

[IanY]

I would bet that stacked Swiftechs would be 3/5 the size, 5/8 the price and at least equal the performance.

[Lloyd]

I'm looking forward to seeing this tested, mainly against the TFC 480

[SpuTnicK]

Papdom me...
The reason for soon changing my zalman 9500 for d-tek fusion v2 is less noise production and better cooling. The size of the my system doesn't realy matters. As long as it works as quite as a notebook. And using fans with 76 mm thickness is sickness even if they are undervolted. I've heard the noise thej produse, it is similar to drill machine working near you.
About the rad: yes it humongous... But with it , I think, it is possible to go absolutly passive...the other question is the amount of blocks in the rig that can be cooled with this "Monsta" passivly.
And by the way does anyone heard about the price of the rad? How can it be compared with Mora 2 core/pro?

[lennox]

The only thing I could think to do when seeing this rad is laugh... so... hahahahah

[evilsponge]

I think it might fit my Lian-Li A70 full tower hmm......

-sponge
LOL it's a monsta!

Look at the last picture. The sets of fins don't line up in the middle as if it's two separate radiator cores in one housing with custom ends.

This style of radiator cannot be run passively. It just isn't possible.

They need to have air flowing through them.

Anyone else think it looks retareded or is that just me?

You are not alone.

[Bobly]

Holy Crap on the link to that Sanyo Denki fan! 159CFM at 48dba, I would hope that they undervolt real nice because the potential when then running these at full power would be quite amazing :P

yup I think you are on to something here.
And +1 to the comments about this thing looking retarded.
However looks are a distant 2nd when talking about performance.
