Swiftech MCR320-QP-K Triple 120mm Radiator
The MCR320-QP (Quiet Power) series are extreme-duty liquid-to-air heat
exchangers designed to be used with three 120mm fans, and specifically
engineered for high-end liquid cooled Personal Computers. They are the result of
months of research and development focused on optimizing thermal performance and
audible noise characteristics with low to medium airflow types of fans.
The MCR320 -QP series heat exchangers have been engineered to meet today's PC
industry highest thermal loads, quality standards, and low noise requirements at
competitive prices.
Features and Benefits
|
High Performance
|
Low noise
|
|
Triple 120mm fan form factor triple the surface area available for
convection of the heat into the air compared to single 120mm fan designs.
The Quiet Power design yields superior performance at low noise levels
compared to competing products in the same class. |
Optimized for 120mm fans with low to medium air output.
The added heat dissipation capacity enables multiple high-end devices
(multi-core CPU's, and SLI systems) to run highly overclocked at the lowest
possible noise levels. |
|
Flat brass tubes and copper louvered fins, with brass plenum chambers and
frame construction, for optimum thermal conductivity. |
Fin density optimized to reduce air noise. |
|
Flat frame surface provides optimum seal to the fans. |
Built-in plenum chamber. |
|
Convenience, Reliability, Quality, Competitive Prices
|
- G 1/4" NPT threaded hubs, for maximum compatibility with various tubing
installations.
- Patent-pending Self purging plenum chambers design: when installed upright or on
its side, air cannot accumulate in the plenum chambers.
- Threaded fan and case mounting holes for quick and repeated installations.
- Slim design to facilitate installation, and reduce bulk.
- No oxidation over time (compared to aluminum radiators).
- Beautiful and durable gloss acrylic paint finish.
- Competitive pricing with same class radiators (single row, 2 pass).
Installation with a minimum of case modifications
The MCR320-QP can be installed using Swiftech's MCB120 "Radbox".
Performance Curves - MCR320 triple compared to MCR220 dual 120mm radiator
it can be observed that the pressure drop is marginally higher than
that of the MCR220-QP
The MCR320-QP shows a 50% higher heat dissipation capacity than that
of the MCR220-QP. Under the test conditions this indicates that the
MCR320 can dissipate in excess of 400 Watts while maintaining a 10°C
temperature differential between the coolant and the ambient air.
The improvement is of the order of 1°C per 100 Watts dissipated across
the range of tested flow rates.

level will reduce by 5 dB.", and "addition of a second equal source
increases the sound level by ~3dBA".
