OC-WC discontinuing Big Mama - for a new BlackIce?

Strafe · 09-25-2001, 02:05 PM

Intriguing post...must have more info!

Overclock-Watercool

09/20/01 - Big Mama Radiator to be Discontinued. As soon as my current supply is depleted the Big Mama will be no more. It's still a great performer, but we can now pack that kind of cooling power into 1/2 the space. We will shortly be offering a BlackIce form factor unit with comparable heat rejection.

Yep there is good stuff coming soon

When will the new rads be out? I am wanting to build a new system soon and need really good rads

are they going to be comparable to the "big momma"'s big brother over at liquidcool.org? In otherwords, how good is it really going to be?

Woaaaaahh. Good news. Could this imply a price drop on the BlackIce 1? Or will the new prices just go up from where they are now? Please say the former...

Thanks for the first look at the BlackIce II Kevin!

Raises some interesting issues. There are 2 new BlackIce radiators coming out, the II and the XTreme. From the info I've been able to collect so far, The Xtreme is half the size (does that make it smaller than the original BI?) of the Big Mama and will dissipate 3500btu/hr - If indeed the XTreme is what the post on OC-WC is referring to. The II is twice the size of the original BI and will do 2800btu/hr. More surface area on the II, easier to cool?

What I'm getting to is, in what situations would you want one over the other?
