Surely this is blatant false advertising. Is there not some form of market watch crowd in the USA to take these sorts of false marketing statements to task?

Edit: Oh - I see that this statement gets qualified within the blurbage here:

More than DOUBLE the performance at the compact Black IceĀ® Prime form factor: rated for 790KCal per hour (3134BTU per hour)

So they're saying that this single radiator is capable of dissipating 918W. No mention of air-flow, no mention of air-water dT. No actual testing results provided to back any of the statements up I see. Usual standard practise for such radiators it seems.

Man, will there ever come a day which this sort of advertising tripe stops being peddled?
