Nice work Skinnee.
Any chance of adding a comparable Koolance rad into the mix? Setting aside the requisite alu convo ;D Would really be interested in seeing the results.

Great work my friend!! I have to agree with BA that it looks like a redonkulous amount of work and I thank you for it!
I also have to agree that the thing that would stop me from buying the PA series again is the insane prep, ghetto gasket and the huge array if awesome fittings you cant use on them becasue of the BSPP thread.
I wish I could lend you my Fesser to add to the fray.
Thank you very much for writing this up, I hope you are proud of a job well done.
Very, very, very, nice review, skinnee! Thanks much for doing this.
so thermochill still is the king, hurray!

Wow great review Skinnee, unbelievable work Thank you.
Fantastic review skinee!
I'm looking forward to the CPU-block tests.
Update:
Fixed the typo in the table headers, now reads properly ..."3 Fans in Pull". Also fixed the X-axis label for fan specification. I missed the D12SL12 RPM range the first time through.
Still looking for a BIX360/TFC360 to borrow for a week or two.
edit:
Yeah, looking at the outervision calculator now. I'll try to work something up.
A very nice review indeed. Funny thing that the PA120.3 is holding on despite the years on its neck.
nice review....
Am I reading this right?
At 1000 rpms, the Thermochill dissipates 4 more watts than the Swiftech at best?
What does this translate into degrees on my processor?
0,05 degrees difference
Something like that is not measurable, a bad/good mount of your CPU block has more effect on your temps.
Hey skinnee, what size fittings/tubing are you using for these reviews?
Thanks
Thanks for the great review. I am sure that this will help perspective buyers in the future. This should be stickied!
