(translated by Google, so beware of some errors 
) Hello friends of the wet element,
in fact, one could advance already come to the following conclusion: The size is still important!
Now, however, the technique is essential, otherwise all the radiators of this test would be on a level of performance.
But first things first: As the reader has already been easily noticed, is what this review to the new
Power superclass of the heat exchanger, namely internally for sheeting radiators, for the increasingly popular 140mm fan! This fact is in a relatively quieter background noise while maintaining good cooling performance as the previously
so popular for 120mm fan radiators founded. As a rough rule of thumb one can say: A rad fitted with 3 x 140mm radiator fans of the new generation is about the power of a Quadradiator, which is designed for 4 x 120mm fans. Since many case manufacturers have already for some time for 140mm fan designed models in the portfolio,
It was only a matter of time, until you can buy suitable heat exchanger for this increase in performance.
As the demands and desires of the users are very diverse, I have decided to not only one size in
take my test box, but take into account almost all available Radiators for the big fan of!
Speaking test field, the ranks of the radiator to be tested are joined by the following models:

The company's hardware labs for many years successfully established and offers a wide selection of high quality radiators
in many sizes and variations. One feature distinguishes this from all the models: The workmanship is first class!
The new SR1 Radis are, fortunately for both 120mm and 140mm fan available from single-to Quadradiator.
So far, Black Ice Radiators have been due to their dense fin density rather rapidly rotating fan beyond 800 rpm. optimized and were able to heat from other manufacturers in Europe, especially in the popular low revs hard to argue in comparative tests. This event can now be safely placed with the SR1 series on the file, because with this new radiator series hardware labs now promising products brought to market, which were also optimized, especially for less air flow! A peculiarity is the different distance from the fan blades: On the side without
The two threaded connection is down this much larger, which represents a kind of shroud, ie the dead center under the
Fan hub is significantly reduced, which leads to better overall performance! Of course I have the fans on both sides
assembled to determine the differences. On the page with "Shroud" stood a better fan speed according to the Delta-T
Value of max. 0.7-up! In my results tables, I have both the best value, ie, with assembly on the "Shroudside" is used.
Like the 480s SR1 Radi, can convince even the models for 140mm. The performance is very good and are processed by the
there is currently nothing better on the radiator market.
The SR-1 series white at first glance like: the matte black finish is flawless, all threads have been immaculately produced, and the fins have turned out very coarse meshed, so as mentioned below is ideal for slow-spinning fans and accordingly noise! For this test, I was kindly of SR1 560 and SR1 280 of the company
www.caseking.de sent. The SR1 420 Model I got from

My thanks goes also to Mr. Wilbert Yuque from hardware labs.

Almost as a living legend, one could describe the radiators in the UK-based company Thermo Chill.
In the past, many test victories worldwide have been retracted, but there were also some points for improvement.
The finish was sometimes left to be desired at times and some users reported by impurities in the interior, which
during flushing of new Rads came to light. Other features of the thermal radiators Churchill are the two connecting thread,
which runs in more exotic G 3 / 8 "thread adapter, and can therefore be in most cases a necessity.
Furthermore, the so-called hole size for the fan was slightly larger than that of heat exchangers of the competitors, so that one normal
Not able to use radiator panels for the Case integration and was dependent on specific panels.
The finish is with my pattern out to be much better than it used to in the TC Rads was the case and offers
no reason for complaint.
At the held in the English language leaflets to rinse with warm water before first use is recommended to
to liberate the Rad of any production residues. It was struck directly at the first flush or almost clear water
from 140.3 to appear, even at this point was thus improved compared to older models of anything!
The 420s Rad from the house can convince Thermo Chill completely in this test of the performance and can be the first place in
This radiator size to win for themselves! The only downer at the moment poor availability in Germany was
mentioned but in neighboring countries, fortunately, these models during

The Magicool radiators out of the house are known for their good performance at a relatively low price. Here and there
may miss a thread not be ok, but this one takes as preisleistungsbewusster buyers like to purchase. Also in
This test can convince the models of Magicool. From the performance for many applications and has sufficient

to assemble, more will surely follow soon.
