Monsta:


TFC 480 vs. GTX 480:


i guess it goes to show the "quad thick" approach does have some benefit.
at about 1350rpm yes, but once you pass that the GTX480 pulls ahead.


-note, On a side now I ponder this considering the price of the MONSTA, how about a GTX420 with push pull fans. The GTX has more FPI yes but push pull should help significantly especially at RPMs nearing 2000. And even with push pull fans the GTX420 would be cheaper and the thickness would be nearly identical 104.2 vs 105.7 mm thick. The only advantage the MONSTA would have then is the threading on both sides and the higher flow.
