Huge Radiators: Roundup

[HESmelaugh]

Thanks for commenting, everyone!

Wow, that Mo-ra 2 is pretty Amazing, I just don't know how I would mount that....

I forgot to mention this: The Mo-Ra comes with spacers and screws for mounting it to the side-panel of a case. It's also wide enough to just stand on it's own.

Nice review! I'm just waiting for two RX480 to get here How long was it before they had problems with the rx480 rads? I getting mine from tom. He got them like a month ago or so. Maybe 1½.

AFAIK, they only had problems with the early RX360. I never read about problems with the RX480.
Though it's been stated that they will switch to a matte finish and non-threaded fan holes - something I'm not terribly enthusiastic about.

Wow... the Mora is pretty bad.

Two different rads in push/pull beat it and the rest come close. For what is essentially 3 rads you would think it would perform better.

I don't think you can equate it to three rads, since it's built entirely differently from you usual x-pass rad. But I agree that three decent rads would likely outperform a Mo-Ra.

By the way: I love the quote in your signature. Loved that monologue and what he says is something that I often notice and wonder about.

When we are comparing 140mm and 120mm fans, we need cut 100-200rpm for 140mm fan to get same noise level.

Just out of curiosity: Where do you get that estimate from?

Generally, a 140 mm fan can be potentially more noisy than a 120 mm fan because it's pushing more air at identical rpm. Below a certain threshhold though, rpm makes no audiable difference in a quality fan, i.e. I wouldn't be able to tell if it's doing 300rpm or 500rpm from the distance I'm usually away from my fans.
All I'm trying to say is: I guess the noise-level relations between fan formats are pretty complex.
