Looks absolutely amazing don't ya think.

And roughly double the cooling capacity of the black ice extreme.

woot!!!!!!

TonyM · 08-27-2002, 10:50 PM

agreed, that is one sharp lookin rad, but its huge

ColdFlare · 08-27-2002, 11:22 PM

Do you know where I can purchase that?

Or when it will be able to be bought?

And most importantly, does anyone know what kind of radiator did you use to make that? I'd rather buy the radiator itself than pay double for all that shiny stuff.

Can O' Beans · 08-28-2002, 02:46 AM

Now you just need some gold Fans

8-Ball · 08-28-2002, 03:53 AM

I emailed HWLabs to get a bit more info.

Performance wise, capacity should be double that of the Black Ice Extreme (which is nice)

Production will begin in 2 weeks

Cost will be $75-$95 though I suspect that willl be for the black version.

I assume the gold version will go to retail as well, but at a price.

8-ball

ps coldflare, the rad is made by HWLabs specifically for PC water cooling. As I've already said, they will be available in black but they are still expensive.

That's the price you pay for having a rad designed specifically for the job.

ColdFlare · 08-28-2002, 11:59 AM

Oh alright, I might been a bit confused, I always thought they bought the rads from a 3rd party and soup them up.

airspirit · 08-28-2002, 01:09 PM

That rad will probably blow anything on the market away. The BIXr2 is an extremely good performer (and can handle an obscene amount of wattage), so I can only imagine an extended version of the same rad will provide more cooling than even a high power multi-pelt rig would ever need. Add in the fact that 4x120mm fans can be attached (push/pull 2 per side), and you could run those at extremely low voltages and still get outstanding cooling. This will be a boon for the silent PC folks (imagine four panaflos at 2-3V ... absolutely silent). Need I add that it looks bad@ss?

Alternatively, ya'll could look for this General Motors heatercore for:

Oldsmobile

Custom cruiser Wagon
1987 through 1990
1982 through 1986, with A/C

Oldsmobile 88
1986 through 1990 (RWD)
1977 through 1985, with A/C, RWD

Oldsmobile 98 Regency
1986 through 1990, RWD
1977 through 1985, with A/C, RWD

Buick

Electra / Park Avenue / Ultra / Wildcat
1985 through 1990, RWD
1984 through 1977, with A/C

Estate Wagon
1987 through 1990
1982 through 1986, with A/C

Pontiac

Bonneville
1977 through 1981, with A/C

Parisienne & Safari SW
1982 through 1989, with A/C

It's slightly bigger, but should be cheaper. (just don't buy it from Heatercore4u!)

Check it out

Hrmm... I don't know... I'm happy with the two BiXs that I got second hand for around 38 each

But yeah, if I were going to get something that large, I'd just get a heater core and get it plated.

g.l.amour · 08-29-2002, 06:45 AM

hmmm, bigben2k? wasn't that you that was praising them heatercore4u guys couple of weeks ago? bad xperience..?

anyway, i'm all with you; for the price of that black ice, u could buy 3 brand new carheatercores that have +/- same dimensions. u just have some more hastle to mount them in a not ghetto way. some call that part of the fun.

I don't believe that I ever praised them, but they do have a nicely laid out website: BlackWidow had no problems downloading it all!

TonyM · 08-29-2002, 01:53 PM

You guys still onto that ancient stuff? I'm with a plasma core driven neural network quantum computer. Basically its just a 2 X 2 ich glowing crystal cube that telepathically plugs straight into your brain. But I'm upgrading to its intracranial implant portable version...

Jessfm · 08-29-2002, 05:14 PM

OCPC have had the Abyss out for a while now

- the Bix2 looks similar, but the OCPC rads have Threaded ports for different barb configurations

ALso if you in the UK, Abyss black has a retails around £65 .
