Watercool MO-RA 3, anyone know something about it?

[Gorki]

Sorry for bumping this old thread, I was hoping someone could share their experience with MO-RA 3 rad since they hit the shelves in the meantime? How well does it stand up against MagiCool Xtreme Nova?

[bundymania]

I´ve tested the Mora 2 / 3 Pro with 9 and 18 Fans (i7 4Ghz & 2xGTX 480) and the Phobya 1080 (= 98% same as the big Magicool Rad) I´m waiting for the 9x140mm Pro Version to include in the test, hoping this will be until end of October. With Lowspeed Fans (600 RPM) the Mora 3 is about ~2° better than the older Mora 2 which performs very similar to the big Phobya/Magicool.

Watercool.de is moving to a new building atm, so there are delays in releasing the rads. All new Mora 3 rads are very rare here in germany since releasing the first versions !

Here i have some pics:

I've got my mora3 4x180 several weeks ago, just can't get to start installing it finally. Lack of time...

Looks great. Have you tried mounting it on case? So there is no much difference with newer mo-ra 3? Not sure about germany but when I decide to buy it, I will probably place international order, just still wondering is it worth it (in long run) performance vise against some other 3x triple rad?

Too bad I hope you sort it out soon. I'm having same problems myself, you're always lacking some more time.

i7 4Ghz @1.41V + 2xGTX 480 + Fusionblock with triplerad ? Nope, only the 3 monster rads in this review !

But, i have made a little Previewtest before with CPU only ! Look:



U/Min = Fan RPM

You can order the Mora 3 at Aquatuning UK..for example

It would be more interesting to put Mora against two 3x120 rads, to be a bit more of an even fight. Especially when i've seen it claimed several times that two tripples should outperform while being less resistive.

I am working on getting some Mora's and Nova's, as I want to know what their capabilities are.

Yes, but thing is that I end up cheaper ordering overseas, rather than placing my order in UK or even Germany which are closer to my country.

Sounds nice, I'm looking forward to see how do they stack against each other.
Really love your work skinnee, it's been very helpful reading it. Thanks.

Shane has made a nice test of the big rads too before he retired in making tests, you can check it out here:

The Mora 3 is max. 3-4° better than the older Mora 2, depending on fanspeed. Thats my conclusion after testing with the GTX480 SLI Setup, and the smaller CPU Only Setup before.
I´ve tested with 9 and 18 fans, 550, 800, 1200 RPM, Noiseblocker PL2

There is a review which came to result: Mora 3 is 7° better with lowspeed fans than Mora 2 - that´s a bit strange in my opinion, coz the newer one has same size, just a few more tubes and some internal changes.

The overall build quality and design from those chinarads a.k.a. Magicool / Phobya are not so good like the Mora´s, but hey, the performance is good and they are cheaper than the Mora´s

[Toolius]

cant wait to get one !! i really want the mo-ra3 ....
This is just the ticket for a silent beast of a system.
Please do post your results soon Bundymania Eagerly awaiting that review. !
Thanks a ton again .. much appreciated
cheers and kind regards .

Finally!. . .some unbiased and objective testing will take place with these rads.

[Church]

Seems they finally released that mad mad rad - MoRa3 9x140(!). With rads like these probably even overclocked fermi gpu-s can be passive cooled
Weight - like that of feather's. Just 7.5 kg

[Toolius]

Holy Moses !!

[the1320god]

i ordered my mo-ra 3 should have it up and running n a few weeks.

[Toolius]

I just got my 2 Mo-ra 3's
Will start setting them up this week .. cant wait !

[MrToad]

I have a 4x180 and loving it

With the SS AP181s running @ 7 volts is practically inaudible cooling a 920 OCd to 4 GHz and 2 5870s (FC)

I was going to post some info (temps, ambient delta, flow rates and stuff) but I decided to rig a MB block first, and that's kept me from finishing the build for a month.

Once I have a working wc-ed board and the system up and running I'll post some non-subjective data.

[KingOfsorroW]

Currently working on the build based on mora3 readiator (at last!). Got all the components required, got the time, got no new ideas as to how in a better way to set up the system, today got some m4 screws - the last "addition" to the build.... So in 3-4 days I hope to finish it and will definitely post some pics then. ))

The loop will consist of 3x480s and i7 920@(at least) 4.2Ghz. The water will be pushed by 2xmcp655s pumps.
lol

[KingOfsorroW]

Ok, I got it set up and running. So, in short, here are the figures of the i7 920 @ 4322Mhz(1.3875v) and 3 x 480s stock clock with ek waterblocks on :

cpu idles at 43C, the graphic cards idle at 40C
During gaming (stalker cop benchmark and oblivion with 12xsli fsaa and 12xtrsaa) and vantage run at 1920x1080 at high settings, the cpu temps reach 73C, the max temp of graphic cards hit 63C.
The psu is about to jump out of the case at full load )
The temps are very dependant on the ambient temps... The idle temp for cpu may very well be 38C if I open the window for example. It is very hot in my room in winter...
I'll make a thread about my system with pics and all in details this weekend, I hope.

those temps seem a little high; don't they
also where can I get the 9x120 in the US? Looks like performance pcs is the cheapest @ $180, but they are oos
I do not know If I can order from aqua tuning or not and it might turn out to be quite a bit more that way

[KingOfsorroW]

Yes, the temps are not what I expected. I think I'll need to check the thermal grease under the cpu waterblock - that's the only thing that remained unchanged for some long time.
I know of only two shops where one can the radiator - ppcs and the watercool.de. I just checked their site, btw, - doesn't look like they are out of service....

Thanks. I know PPCS is oos on the pro 9x120, but I think they have the 4x180 I believe. I will have to check the watercool site.
I have a MM extended ascension case made for 120mm fans. The only way I could get one of the other versions to work is to mount the fans on the back side. I was planning to run the GT-14 fans to keep noise levels to a minimum.

EDIT: Frozencpu has them, but they are $215+shipping; where as PPCS is selling for $180+shipping. Thats a pretty hefty difference in price. maybe I will contect frozencpu and see if they would be willing to work with me on the price, but I kind of doubt it.

Awesome review Bundymania
Thank you for all the work that has gone into this .. appreciate it loads.
Good to see the Mo-ra 3 dominate
Cheers and kind regards !

[Church]

Pity they weren't put against 2* or 3* 3x120mm rads to see how much round tubes of MoRa-s really impact rad performance versus common rads and it's still upto guessing game with no direct comparison on same testbed.

[Alexandr0s]

Lol, I'm not sure, but I believe we've been waiting on such a test for more than a year or two. Possibly (and probably) since the release of 9x120 radiators.
