XSPC releasing new rads - 120,240,360 thick ones... I hope they will be cheaper than Feser..

these are the rads I've been holding out for. The pre-order had these in line with the Thermochill rads although the price seemed to suddenly jump to the same as the Feser ones the other week.

The rads are out today so we'll see what happens. I dropped OcUK a webnote and was told that they'd be in stock within the next week or 2. Fingers crossed the pricing and performance is good.

Are they going to do a 480?

DJ_Switch · 9 Jan 2009 at 09:22

I haven't seen or heard anything about a 480 anywhere.

Thats a shame.
I want to change my case as its a little small for working in with the wc setup so thought of getting a nice Lian Li PC-A71B. Was going to put a Thermochill 120.3 in it but then thought if I am getting a bigger case and bigger rad, may as well go the whole hog and chuck a 120.4 rad in!!

cheaper than Feser, still too pricey

Might be worth having a look at the Black Ice Extreme 480 then although the range seems to be priced exactly in line with the Feser rads. I haven't seen any performance comparisons between the 2 though.

damn - XSPC had a nice habit of doing great value products, but these are far too pricey.

in that case (no pun intended) the a lian li v2000 will defo accomodate a 120.4

I have a 120.4 black ice rad in the bottom of mine. a pic of it with a p5n32_e mobo in it can be found in the watercooled case gallery

Heres my latest..its getting there slowly!

It is held in place on its side by uber strong qiant velcro pads so i can easily remove it from the case aswell as it not moving when in the case!

Hopefully we'll see some tests and comparisons with this soon. With it looking like it's going to be about £16 more expensive than the Thermochill it had better perform well.

Ideally I'd rather get the Thermochill although it would require a bit of modding in order to fit my case and that would mean the additional cost of a Dremmel.

Here is the first review of the series I've found so far for those interested. Early results look quite promising for the RX series.
