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

[Church]

bundymania: it's just that i heard many times - MoRa - round tubes - bad, 2*3x120 RX - same cooling but less resistive and more compact, and hoped to have that proved or disaproved with same test. I've never seen test among such combinations, at most - MoRa vs big single rads like 4x140/3x140/4x120, which is much further from apples to apples comparison, as rad areas differ too much, and MoRa has more then doubled rad area/fan count advantage. As this test has passed, we can only wait for another (probably by skinnee?).
On MoRa cons - more flow resistance (partially fixed with MoRa3), on pros - sleeker/better looking packaging vs separate rads of same section count interconnected, +if it's performance is close to three triple rads, then MoRa wins by pricing too. If MoRa cools just up to two triple rad level, then later imho is preferred choice, as cheaper (especially if you include lesser fan count/price), more compact and flexible mounting options and possibility to separate in loops.

Offtopic: Skinnee: out of curiosity, what do you use for yourself as your pc/rig? Or you use some gathered parts/leftovers from tests on some testbench case or even have that assembled on table?
And you could sometimes make some article with walktrough pics from lab/room, different testbeds, parts storage gathered by time and so on

I'm about to order a couple of 9x120's of these and see how it works out.

currently i'm running a 4x120 BlackIce GTX X480 with a single MCP655 pump. it's fine for the most part for temps... infact temps are just perfect for a 980X OC'd to 4.3ghz daily and a HD5970 OC'd to 950 core and 1253 mem. it's also running through a koolance full board block on an ASUS RE3.

the biggest thing i was shooting for was a quiter running OC'd system. if the MO-RA3 gives the same temps with quiet fan operation, that's all i need .

granted, i will be keeping my 4x120... it'll come in handy if i end up going... a tad bit extreme.

EDIT: oh, system water idle temp is roughly 43-44*c during winter temps. summer is around 48-49*c, full load never goes higher than 52*c in any season.

I think 4X180 will give you a lot less noise than 9X120"s

Sorry church, didn't see your post until now.

No, not some cobbled together mess... well, compared to some of the builds we see regularly I guess it is. My main rig has to be separate from all the lab stuff or it would never be running. Daily driver spec's...

Mountain Mods Ascension: Annodized/Brushed Alu
Asus Rampage II Extreme
i7 920 D0 @ 4.2 with 1.275V Vcore
Corsair 3x2GB DDR3-1600 (Kit just won't clock, so it was worthless in the lab... also why I won't buy Corsair kits anymore)
EVGA GTX280 with Danger Den block (EK blocks were moved to one of the test benches)
Corsair HX850
Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme
3 Thermochill PA120.3's Yate Loon Mediums
3 D5's w/ stock tops
3 EK Multi-res 150's
Heatkiller LT
Koolance VL4's, Colder QDC's
Primochill LRT tube; blue, white and clear

No board blocks presently (previous system did), so that loop just cycles from res to pump to rad all day.

The Lab and my office area... they're never tidy enough for photos, parts and tools strung about. It gets out of control quickly with 2 test benches, a radiator test fixture, separate pump test fixture and prep table. Its controlled chaos really.
