    So, seen first, 16min long vid.
    1) Ouch. Fully sequential waterpaths .. it's gonna be Resistive (waterflow path). Expecting dual DDC tops and Iwaki pumps on the rise
    2) I don't like that much space around watertubes (just like i disliked built in shroud in BI SR1 rad (and from one side only to keep thickness in check, limiting installment positions)) - imho it's better to leave choice up to user and have rad shroud to be just as wide/thick as heatercore within, so that rad can be mounted everywhere, and IF user Wants fan shrouds And has space for those, he can install those. Weird seeing that modular design to not have that thing thought out, as it should be easy to add extra rad shroud parts for different sized fans and of different shroud part distance.
    3) Oh, and they too much accent on modularity being THAT important. One doesn't throw out old common design rads when their cooling capacity is inadequate after cooled hardware upgrades. One adds another rad for extra cooling capacity. Now how that is worse then adding extra section to TFC rad?
    4) Also these rads because of extra length caused by middle interconnecting inserts look like will be longer then common design ones - they might not fit everywhere where rads of common design with same section count fits, OR with similar size they will have less rad area. Because of bigger dimensions (both thickness & length wise) it might be actually harder to fit more rads into many cases internally compared to common rads, loosing out in overall cooling capacity as result.

    Pitty nothing been said about how resistive these rads will be to airflow, how effective they will be to similar sized common rads
