Feser's New Lineup

[Waterlogged]

haha, they can say whatever they want, and you, WL, not a child to believe these stories. It is all marketing hypes, if you ask me

You forget who your talking to, I was just reiterating their claim.

[SpuTnicK]

oh you darn joker

[meanmoe]

The gains in a "normal" watercooling system with low wattage and slow fans will be pretty minimal by increasing turbulence.

I'm going to half disagree with you. I'd speculate that lower flow scenarios should show higher sensitivity to the internal flow characteristics, e.g. 'turbulence'.

While waiting for the Admirals....some more weeks....or maybe month...you can have a look at this tfc copy of an old noiseblocker product:

Meh, if we're gonna classify all single and double hdd silencers as NB copies, why not toss in the one Scythe made as well .

Feser did a nice job on the design, and just because the design looks similar, I have a hard time calling it a copy.

[SpuTnicK]

Well, if you knew more details about TFC and NB, you would said different

[bundymania]

Meh, ask Dirk, Boss of Noiseblocker who makes the design of the Admiral Rads and builds the first prototype ~ 4 years ago ! And ask, why the admirals are still not on the market.....maybe because of some patents ?!

[Church]

Hmm? I thought that NB and TFC are related just with TFC Triebwerks that they developed together, and which uses NB's NanoSLI bearings ..

[rheydt]

Fester, the copy company

I found this today:

http://hw-lab.com/thermalfins-a-new-...ercooling.html

maybe this is/was the company which was behind feser to produce the admirals and making their own thing now ?

[theseeker]

Looks interesting.

[gmat]

Very interesting article. So the real manufacturer is "Lötters Metallwaren GmbH". I like the plastic inserts idea for screw mounts. Still very puzzled about actual performance, and water flow resistance... 3x140 is priced at 185 euro, which makes the SR-1 look cheap.

LOL, awesome!

X-series radiators are already in full-scale production and will be available from March 2011 at Thermalfins e-shop, followed by Xs line-up presented in April.

Waiting for pricing!

Nice I can't wait to see Skinnee's review.

[pluck]

Gotta love how they are marketing the use of tubes connected in serial as an advantage. heheheh

This is interesting to see something actually[somewhat] new in PC rad design. I'm not sure it will be better than what we have now.

I'd think if Lötters Metallwaren was investing to bring this to market, they'd have a good idea if it's a competitive design.

I know nothing of this company, living in US though. Time/objective testing will tell the tale, doubt anyone in the know will pop for these without such testing.

An interesting side tail seems to exist here, I read that FrozenCPU invested a tidy sum with Feser, to develop this rad design. I wonder what the real story is behind all this.

for drama

Someone care to explain to me how SS is supposed to be better than copper or brass? Is it the "stainless" part, because I remember steel plugs.

FTA "And there is no need to worry about electro-chemical erosion, since wetted parts are not made of aluminum but steel instead."

Waiting for the P&P.

[the finisher]

I don't think SS is better, I have no idea how this will perform. I use TC rads, and am happy. So, I'm not in the market for new, and improved.

However a new design is interesting, I'll wait for testing before I go hating on this somewhat new rad. It's still a tube type rad.


@Quagmire LXIX, what's P&P? And I don't want any drama, I'm just curious.

[ScottALot]

It's been like 5 months since they released pics of the radiators... can we have them now?

[SpuTnicK]

Well, the article suggests to wait till March

...

Why not, at least some one has the guts to present new product properly, IMHO

[bundymania]

Exact this happens now, a guy from the company wrote:

TFC tried to twit me on the worst way…! There´s no patent owned by TFC…because…a contract has to be signed ( this contract was done by the patent attorney )…this contract should arrange the cooperation between TFC and me…and after all was done, TFC didn´t sign it !

But what about Admiral Rads...and FrozenCPU...which was investing 30.000 $ in the new Rad Series ? Hey Mark, pls tell us some details, what is going on.

[zalbard]

@Quagmire LXIX, what's P&P?

Performance and pricing? Just guessing...

I only used that visual because there wasn't a popcorn emoticon, I see now how badly I failed Personally, I would love to hear about the drama behind the curtain on this (if there is any).

Performance and pricing? Just guessing...

but I'm not into this steel stuff. I do want to see how the design fairs for cooling though.

No problem
