** Official Mayhems Development Log **

[Mayhems]

This is a single post containing every thing we are currently working on. This does not mean in any way what we are testing working on will hit retail and is mainly to gauge public response and show what we are up to. Some of the logs are in early stages and testing has only just begun and may not see the light of day for a long time.

We all so cannot go into to much detail (some times) as well of what's inside some of the products as you may under stand this is the net and companies are all ways looking for new ideas and obversely what we do is quite innovative and is worth money to certain companies.

You can ask questions if you like how ever if i do not answer some its not me ignoring you, Its just we cannot answer them due to NDA restrictions i have placed on my self .

THIS IS NOT A SUPPORT THREAD FOR RELEASED PRODUCTS.

So on with the thread

Mayhems Radiators MK-1-B / MK-1-W (240mm & 360mm)

We have been working on developing some rads for quite some time now and some testers have had there hands on our beta versions all ready. One of the testers is a admin on this forum and works for OCUK and is under NDA. No pictures will be shown of these rads until a retail product is made.

Mayhems radiators are throwing the new school rule book in the bin and bringing you this old school motorbike radiator with a few changes to allow superior cooling ability in any liquid cooled system.

When you pick up these rads you not only feel the quality of the build but you will see it to. All so these rads are 100% made in the UK.

We are working on designs still how ever we made up 10 Ver 1 rads and still have about 4 left over. Sevral testers go the Ver 1 rads for long term testing a few months back and have been sending us results back on how they feel about the rads and how they are performing.

Im pleased to say the results we did get back have been very good. In some cases impressive to say the least. The rads should be one of the top makes when they come out for Low noise high performance rads and apparently from testers out perform there equivalent (and some times come close the even larger rads) on the market.

We will be initially make a 360mm rad and a 240mm rad. We have no plans for a 120mm rad and a 480mm rad at the moment.

Here are some of the simplified test results we have been given or have gotten our self.

Thermochill 480mm Vs Mayhems 360mm

4 fans on the Themrochill running at 1200 RPM, 3 fans on the Mayhems Rad running at 1200 RPM
A simple ball valve was used to switch between the Thermochill Rad and the Mayhems Rad so nothing was disturbed between switch over.

TC 480mm = 41c After 4 hours of prime
M 360mm = 43c After 4 Hour of Prime

Mayhems 360mm Rad was -2c behind Thermochill's 480mm rad - Test's confirmed from a independent tester who results were 2c behind the same rad.

Thermochill (old style old spacing) 3 x 120mm rads Vs Mayhems 360mm rad

TC 3 x 120mm = 44c
Mayhems 360mm = 41c

Thermochill (new spacing) 360mm Vs Mayhems 360mm

TC 360mm = 46c
Mayhems 360mm = 41c

Black ICE GT Xtreme 360mm Vs Mayhems 360mm rad

Fans running at 1200 RPM. Same again simple ball value in system to switch between rads as not to disturb set up.

Black ICE GT EX 360mm = 45c After 4 hours of prime
Mayhems 360mm rad = 41.5c After 4 hours of prime.

The test difference all takes into account the ambient temps at the time from each tester and are produced from a advantage score.

This was tests done on the Ver 1 rad so really they are irreverent as were working on version 2 to improve the rad some more in the aesthetics department and all so to help bleeding of the system. Some of the changes we are going to incorporate may improve performance or may drop the performance we just don't know yet.

Mayhems X2 Extreme Coolant

(yes another one haha)

When reading though the net the no 1 worry of many people is one thing and that is Dyes staining there water cooling system. Now when you use dyes this a unavoidable aspect of using liquids that have been dyed and this is no way of avoiding this. Some manufacturers claim to have sorted this problem out how ever in our testing we have found this to be untrue and still find to this date dyes still stain no matter what coolant you use. This includes our very own branded coolant. Obversely this is dependant on your very own system but i can honestly say my testing is pretty damned tougher when looking into coolants.

So what can we do about this ... Well this is were Mayhems X2 (developmental coolant) comes in to play.

1) X2 contains "NO DYES"

2) X2 will last up to 3 years in a working water cooling system (conductions vary and you may only get up to 2 years depending on the type of system you run)

3) The UV aspect of them WILL NOT FADE Over Time

4) 100% Environmental friendly

5) Up to 4x brighter than Current UV Coolants

6) For the first time we have a REAL Bright Orange not only under UV but under normal light.

7) Its a nano fluid technically but relay its not

8) Will work in very high heat (110c) and down to -40c

9) This will be the first every Ethylene Glycol based liquid cooling pre-mix we have made that is human safe.

Ethylene Glycol normally is not human safe and is normally very toxic to human beings how ever this new Glycol based coolant has a patented additive preventing Ethylene Glycol from being metabolised (during digestion) into toxic by-products, which cause kidney failure, blindness and death.

All though we say human safe this does not say drink it. this substance is none toxic but we will never recommend any one drinks any of our fluids we make.

Please for give these photos they are not the best and i haven't had time to do better ones.

[Mayhems]

@rjkoneill thks. I cannot speak about what's in the new X2 coolants as its under warps atm (i can defo say no other company has even thought about it or ever produced working version of it in any form). but its defo not a dye .

@moogle The yellow is much brighter in life than on the pics, all so its a real yellow. Once i get some time together we will get pics. Were currently down one system for testing. so testing hasn't started yet on the new X2 fluids. Theory is all that is in place atm how ever from my understanding of fluids and as my understanding grows i dont for see any problems just yet. There are more colours such as Perfect Black and Ocean Blue how ever again just not had the time for taking pics.

@PhillyDee Thank you.

We do have more plans as well than what you see here. Some of them have production models made up all ready to go into testing but with the limited funds we have at our disposal it will take time. Nither me nor Steve take any wage or payment from Mayhems so what ever so what you Guys or Girls buy helps us develop more and its been like that since day 1.

How ever we will only produce stuff that makes a difference to the market or it betters the market.

 

[Mayhems]

There normal sized rads, Slim are just that there 1/2 a rad lol.

 

[Mayhems]

Thks guys. Been working on a video of why our new bioside is another industry leading product. We show what leading brands do over a period of time and what our new ones doesn't do . There just is no comparison.

We will not publish it though, once we release it which may not be till Late December , early Jan as we just haven't had much time to push it out yet.

Still working hard on X2 and weve bought in all other pre-mixes and been running side by side tests on it ... Still got a lot of work to do on it though and as said we need another system to test it out.

 

[Mayhems]

1 year .... dunno till we get another test system. ATM were stuck as we have other things to test first and X2 is now in the que.

 

[Mayhems]

Oky small update we have been pricing up all the modification we need to do for our V2 rad samples and were looking at producing just 50 of the 3 x 120mm and 50 of the 2 x 120mm Rads. Were not going to producing hundreds of these rads and we expect once people get there hands on them and they have had some reviews they will sell like hot cakes.

We can only produce small amounts of these rads due to the prohibitive costs in making them here in the UK. With China buying up all the worlds supply's of copper, development of such products like these are extremely expensive due to major copper makers taking the micky and selling metals in the UK at such a high price.

This is why most companies have there rads make in china and not in there home countries. How ever in a fight to keep with the British theme that Mayhems is pretty proud of we will do our best to keep our stuff manufactured in the UK but we will not be able to compete in a price war against the larger manufacturers of this hobby. So dont expect to see our rads hitting silly low prices. You pay for what you get when it comes to Mayhems products.

We dont have 4 left over rads from our V1 tests and i dont know what we are going to do with them. What ever we do though wont be till ver 2 has been produced. I may auction them off for charity once i had a word with my partner.

 

[Mayhems]

This is one of the new Liquid we are working on.

IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY DYE.

It should have a in system life of up to "3" years
It should NEVER lose its glow under UV light.

Currently it using a Patented Ethylene Glycol how ever i may change this as it seems to have created froth when first being added and i dont like that. It not supposed to but meh i will sort it.

This system will hopefully go live (as in start of testing) in next few days just missing a few components to get her up and running.

We fitted a 370 block from Koolance to test if its stable and will give it a good run for its money.

 

[Mayhems]

0_o look at pics on the net mate there are loads of people with it.

There are two types of X1 red as well the Blood red and the Normal red.

I wont be butting x1 back into our test systems now as we have loads of other things to test and i dont keep stock on hand its in our ware house in Wakefield.

 

[Mayhems]

yes you can.

 

[Mayhems]

UV Clear Blue isnt a dye would you believe it is some thing a little different. If you cannot see it the best way to test it is to put it in a glass of water (plain water will do) about 2 drops. Test it against UV light and if it reflects then its not the liquid but some thing stopping the UV light getting to the liquid.

This is a common problem and has been around for years and has some thing to do with Tubing and plastic and if the Tubing is a UV dispersant (meaning it will get rid of UV light before hitting the liquid so it does not react as well). All so another problem is Cheap imported UV CCFL's.

If how ever its still not showing as UV blue please email me at michael "AT" mayhems dot co dot uk

 

[Mayhems]

Yeh X2 is in early stages of development. Its looks fairly weak under normal light how ever under UV light its one of the brightest UV active liquids we have ever created. We still need to do lots of work on it ever im still not happy with it but i will get there in the end. Im determine to get it cracked.

Update : Mayhems Biocide Extreme.

The new biocide we have created is based on Copper sulphate which has been used for years in the water cooling industry and is used in the PT Nuke range of biocides which should be well known by everyone. However with testing even though Copper sulphate is an excellent biocide it’s still not perfect. One of the problems with this is that it doesn’t contain scale inhibitors and this doesn’t prevent build-up also the fact that when you use to much it can make dyes fade and some times in the rare instance cause a Chemical reaction.

So this is where we have been working a little more on our solution to this little problem and have come up with a new mix of Copper Sulphate and Citric Acid.

Why Citric Acid?

Quote from WikiPedpia

“Citric acid is an excellent chelating agent, binding metals. It is used to remove scale from boilers and evaporators. Citric acid is the active ingredient in some bathroom and kitchen cleaning solutions. A solution with a 6% concentration of citric acid will remove hard water stains from glass without scrubbing. In industry, it is used to dissolve rust from steel. Citric acid can be used in shampoo to wash out wax and colouring from the hair.”

Now taking into all the good things into account we’ve been running some long term testing and also found out its helps keep plasticizer build up to a minimum as well as keeping everything clean (yes i have had to keep quiet for a while on here about noticing build up on plated tubs and some blocks). All so it has had no adverse effect no matter how much we have used on dyes All so another fact of citric acid is that it is a Natural PH buffer which is perfect for water cooling and keeping your fluid in natural aliment as when using DI / Ultra water this PH is sometimes a little out of aliment..

We have tested this new biocide on many different reservoirs and seen no effect on the glues that hold them together, so all though this is not the perfect solution you will still need a inhibitor if using mixed metals its another step forwards we think.

Im checking them to see if they have any added befit to them (coolants) but it will take a while to show though (a good 6 months at least).

The new biocide is really been made as a stand alone product for the purest amongst us and just improve on what already is a excellent product.

 

[Mayhems]

Yes if you what to do a review that fine. we all ready had lost of good feed back over the least year and half of test the pastel range from the UK and USA on the pastel range. It Just took us a long time to release due the the logistics of it all.

 

[Mayhems]

Pics of the 1 set of test rads we sent out. these are now out of date with Rev 2 coming soon which I have improved.

Quad pass

These were made last year a good few months ago.

Pics show below (had to resize them)

 

[Mayhems]

Yeh im sorry about that most web sites change them to suit there forums but you all so get to see them in detail as well.

Ill re upload them to suit this site better.

Some new year news for you Guys & Girls. Mayhems is working on new case designs and we will be pushing for some prototypes with in the next few weeks.

We are working with a member from a web site synonymous for outstanding designs and i personally have to say i really cannot wait to get the prototype made up.

The designs are not for all how ever neither are any of our products and it will fall in line with our niche products we all ready have created.

Quick suggestion on the rads, I think it would be a good idea to put a blanking plate under the screw holes to prevent people puncturing the rad.

Weave looked into a lot of things with the rads the only problem is with it only being small runs each adjustments adds ££'s to the cost. PPl would like 4 in / outs, blanking plates, m4 holes ect ect , it all mounts up in costs especially here in the UK. What we are doing is simple cheap modification that will not cost the earth and will not Comprise on quality.

As we progress we can revise each step and improve how ever when using rads people need to be careful and not rush into adding things. We are looking at proving each rad with enough screws so that you can add enough fans for push, push / pull with no problems and in two sizes. one for slim fans and one for thicker fans.

Some thing as simple as adding blanking plates costs a bit due to them being hand made and they would need welding into place and this takes time.

People have requested bleed values again this is not as easy as you may think as it would need to pass though two tanks and be a water tight fit in both tanks.

And we are looking to all the excellent ideas users come up with but it will take us time.
