Well, if consumers want to see testing on it first, you'll have to wait til we've found someone to test it etc. If you're willing to buy it on a blind leap of faith then it'll be out sooner. Personally I'd rather have some figures to back up the claims before I put it out for retail sale, but it's looking like that's not gonna happen due to a lack of anyone who knows about how to test radiators who's available to do it.

So what do folks think? Just release it and see how it fares in the market place, or get it reviewed and tested first THEN release it?

The WHEN of it all - hell, could have em on the shelf within 3 days if we had to. Only delays at the mo are purely trying to source someone to test it properly. Production are just waiting for me to say the word...

Admittedly, if we just release it then reviews will naturally follow in time as they spread thru the marketplace, but not one of those will be a useful review in the eyes of the guys here... and not one of those reviews would be quantifiable / reproduceable etc etc in the traditional procooling way... they'd just be "we had a PC with x waterkit and x rad. It ran at x under full load. We swapped out the rad for this one and didn't change anything else and CPU ran at y under load", which as we all know means bugger all to anyone who's bothered about their watercooling, and means everything to those who have a pocket full of cash and just want someone no-one else has got.
