Hiya,
I'm going for the tried n tested Thermochill triple

It would be great if those ones work mirracles but i think the thermal dispersion properties of rads have hit max they can shed energy

If you want a slight risk try that new one

If you want tried n tested ThermoChill

Would like to know from a review after these sell what they're like to the equiv Thermochills ;)

Ciao

They look like they could perform extremely well, but I even have a tough time justifying the price of the PA120.3, let alone 85 quid for this one.
 
gurusan,
I thought like that too lol

But taking into account the larger size i might go for one after these darn new vidcards are out, as gpu is my #1 at the moment

And really when you compare this to the cost of a heater matrix for a car/van etc they aint too bad (that's i guess what they evolved from)

So i am gonna get new gpu then the new TFC triple

I'm not sure the dimensions on the OCUK website are correct for these actually.

By where those screw holes are, there is no way those rads are 150mm wide.

In fact, if you check out the manufacturers website, the tech spec pdf shows them to be 407 x 125.6 x 60.2 vs 440 x 170 x 75 on the OCUK website.

So, they would appear to be smaller than advertised. (Not that that will make them bad radiators of course!)

I do seriously dought that these are worth £25+ over the Thermochill rads.


Plus you should all support a UK company. Shame on you. :p ;)
 
The dimensions are what were supplied for the product, will get it checked over in the morning. :)

Reviews put them above the Thermochill rads, but obviously you pay a premium for this.

If you are after the ultimate in performance then they look like the new king, never thought I would say Thermochill is the value for money option!

Not really value for money thought is it compared to the Swiftech or Black Ice rads.


The performance gain you would get out of using a Feser rad that will cool your CPU a few degrees lower than the Thermochill equivalent would be very minimal. Its not as if 4 degrees is going to be make your CPU more stable so you can get an extra 500mhz out of the overclock.


They have added a product to a market area that is already taken up, offered a minimal gain in any sort of performance but at a very very higher price. You could buy a Black Ice rad but paying £20 more for a Thermochill would make sense as the extra performance you gain from the Thermochill rad is worth the price, where as in this case it isnt.
 
The Feser's are supposed to slightly outperform Thermochill's, which is quite surprising, and they're a little bit smaller (I've seen pics of them side by side on XS). A lot of websites are advertising the size of the box but if you check out the dimensions PDF Tooks gave, they're the correct measurements of the rad.

It's a shame they cost so damn much, the RRP on them is huge, or I'd have definately got one, the smaller size means I could fit one inside my case where the PA120.3 was 4mm too big. I just had to order a Black Ice GTX360 instead for £25 cheaper than a Feser
