XSPC Has released a 4th rad to their new RX lineup, a 480 Model @ only $130 USD. :eek::eek::eek:

Skinee tested these puppies out and they are as good as thermochills for a swiftech like price tag. Very nice radiators!

Or you can pick it up at another wonderful retailer for $5 less :):

Oh my god, that thing is huge. (that's what she said?)

Thermochill 120.3 used to be $200 at most places when they were still fairly new. So this is astonishing. I think I know what my next radiator will be. :up:

Good to see more competition in the 120x4 market.

Wow.... Would this even fit on the top panel of most full tower cases?

the koolance rads have a higher FPI (30) whereas the XSPC have 15. If you dont mind louder fans then the koolance 4x120 is probably the way to go.

The XSPC RX line is 8 FPI, the TC's are 10 FPI (Feser is the same as TC), Swiftech is 14 FPI and the HWLabs GTX is 20 FPI.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the Koolance Rads are 30 FPI.

well dean psted and said 30 IIRC but I think it was lost in the crash.... its possible he revised it and said 15 but IDK, ill search google cache now

Well, I stand corrected on the TFC as well...just writing the review for the 360 and turns out it is 12 FPI, not 10 like the ThermoChill.

OK well then 30 is totally out of the question, that means that if my memory serves me correctly than the koolance rad is most definitely 15 FPI.

I was going to say, 30FPI?
Well, as long as you had deltas I suppose there would be gains, :P
Really glad to see XSPC doing more great products, have been a fan for a while after seeing reviews of their CPU blocks, which were great value for money. And their cheap rads were, and now they hope to also be able to compete with the best performance wise, good going!

XSPC is growing to be my one of my favorite WC companies. I don't use any of their rads as I have a slew of GTXs but their full coverage blocks are fantastic. FC blocks all perform just about the same so price is the biggest factor for me. Glad to see some more competition in the radiatior department to hopefully bring prices down a little
