More musings here...

Weird - the press release only went out today... lots of good discussion there though.

Shadowed_fury · 24th Apr 2006, 16:23

One is coming my way as soon as these have prices up.

The_Pope · 24th Apr 2006, 16:35

My understanding is that these will be priced keenly ie not massively more expensive than existing products. However, please check with vendors

I'm hoping that they will be less expensive. They do afterall use less material!

Count me in for a couple

Not hugely bothered about price tbh. They look and sound like they'll perform far better. (Well given the hype, i'd hope so)

-EVRE- · 24th Apr 2006, 17:16

more suface area

lower pressure drop

but how much better does it perform?

*HINT HINT BT*

wharrad · 24th Apr 2006, 19:02

Has Coolermiester (Paul) got one? If so,,, would he be kind enough to break any commercial rules and gives us a hint at RRP?

BT tested it yet?

yahooadam · 24th Apr 2006, 21:06

interesting idea

hopefully it works out quite well

speedfreek · 24th Apr 2006, 21:47

I would like to see some prices first but it could get me into watercooling.

The_Pope · 24th Apr 2006, 21:59

We haven't tested one yet. Hands up if you'd like us to review one?

Solidus · 24th Apr 2006, 22:10

*raises hand and jumps around like crazy*

err...ahem...Yeh i guess i wouldnt mind :P

-EVRE- · 24th Apr 2006, 23:14

yes please do test it! *hand way up!*

Krikkit · 24th Apr 2006, 23:30

That'd be sweet - a WC review... (Even if it will pack the extreme cooling forum full of fools...).

It'll be nice to see how they stand up to the previous series, I would imagine the performance jump will be decent.

Sathy · 24th Apr 2006, 23:58

Schweed! Finally something happening on the Radfront...something important that is.
The tech specs are quite promising and the don't look bad either!

*one hand* *two hands* *three hands* (where did that come from?) say YEY for the review, it would be great!

Sea Shadow · 25th Apr 2006, 00:18

<- That work?

A review would be awesome

One on condition, you compare it to its former. The BIX series.
If so, pretty please, with sugar on top

zr_ox · 25th Apr 2006, 01:03

Would LOVE to see this reviewed.

Especially against other Rad's, BIX & Thermochill, maybe the Alpahcool versions too, they would provide a nice reference point considering sice they are cheap and cheerful.

LVMike · 25th Apr 2006, 01:54

I would beat a hooker for a review

not actually, But.......... if i had to

Anyway reading on the site it shows the Rad as having a 4M tapped hole so it looks like the inital info that Nexxo found was wrong on that point. This is however good news for users as Nexxo pointed out fans are tapped for 4M.

I really want to see the performance of the "performance" model of these things. If the GTS 120.3 is 20% beter than an BIX120.3 imagine the Extreme GT (GTP?) model.
