include the bleed screw feature.
Thermochill PA Series - Optimized for Fans with an individual CFM
Output of up to 130cfm
The PA120 series was conceived after the design-success of the PA160.
During development of the PA160 it was discovered that radiators could be more
finely tuned for the needs of today's watercooling community, where silence
has started to become a major priority. Testing and comparison of the PA160
led to a starting point for PA120 series development. After many months of number crunching and testing the final spec for the
PA120 series was decided upon. This final design showed a vast improvement
over the HE Series... by a significant margin when it came to silent fans.
Additional testing confirmed that this margin applied not only to silent fans
but to regular and higher airflow fans, up to a 130cfm (approximately) point.
The final spec was slightly "outside-the-box" when it came to
regular Radiator construction, thus weeks of tooling changes ensued before the
new series could be commercially released to retail. Which brings us to the
present day...
The PA120 radiator series features a dual-row dual-pass 120mm form factor,
available in single, double and triple sizes, optimized for the fans of today
and putting into practice everything learned about watercooling efficiency and
performance over the past 3 years. The PA Series boasts from 10-40% better
performance over the HE Series. 10% for the high / noisy airflow end of the
fan market, and up to 40% for the low airflow / silence end of the market.
What does this mean to you as an end-user? You can retain the same
performance for even less noise, or better performance for the same noise over
your current radiator. If at the end of the day performance is all that
matters to you and noise is of no concern, the new PA Series still offers
significant improvements over the HE series. Alternately if silence is the
goal, you can now have that too, but with more cooling performance than ever
before!
