Default Magicool Elegance series - reviewed and available

[product page]

looks-wise, this rad is most definately in my top 3 favs, and possible #1.





hi-res: 120 240 360
from review site: 1 2 3 4

after releasing the 120mm (reviewed here translated here), magicool has now released the 240 and 360 variants.
These radiators have shown to be quite free-flowing, and offer (un?)suprisingly good performance, probably due to the use of copper instead of brass tubes.
Also note the fin design on them:


Note from this pic that it can be used like the Swiftech MCR-x20-RAD series.


since performance PC's already stocks the 120mm, i doubt it will take long before they get the others too.


(image redirects to 120mm)

from the review you can conclude its the best rad for medium speed fans, beating the GTX, and with that also the PA series.
for high speeds the GTX wins.

the thing is, this is just a single layer of tubes, while the GTX and PA both are dual layer rads.
magicool makes a dual layered 360 or 480, and id get it over the GTX480, even.

I've seen these before but have trouble trusting the plastic. I'd have to see how it is attached first.

well, the dual layer i was talking about doesnt exist sadly, i just said i wished it did. but id get this over the PA120.3 either way. using normal (medium) fans this thing is quite the performer, as well as cheaper than the PAs. not to mention it looks better and has reservoir capabilities.
