New! Introducing the Stackable series!
Upgrade to Extreme performance at low cost
Introduction
The MCR120-QP (Quiet Power™) series radiators are heavy-duty liquid-to-air heat exchanger designed to be
used with 120mm class fans, and specifically engineered for
high-end liquid cooled Personal Computers.
The Quiet Power™ technology is 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 MCR120 -QP heat exchangers
have been engineered to meet today's PC industry highest
thermal loads, quality standards, and low noise requirements
at competitive prices.
Two form factor versions are available:
- The MCR120-QP features threaded hubs, compatible with 1/4" NPSM, BSPP, and G1/4 fitting (1/4" thread to 1/4", 3/8 or 1/2" barbs), 3/8" black nylon barb fittings included
- The MCR120-QP Res features built-in 3/8" barbs, and an integrated reservoir sufficient for years of operations without coolant refills.
- New! The MCR120-QP Stackable: using the "classic" body, the upper plenums feature two inlet and outlet ports opposite to each other, thus allowing to stack radiators together. This the perfect upgrade for existing owners of MRC120-QP radiators in search of Extreme performance. Key to the feasibility of this series, we also developped the ultra-short 1/2" barbs that are necessary to link the radiators. Four of these fittings are included with the MCR120-QP-STACK.

The new 1-4"BSPP to 1/2" Barb Short fitting enables the linking of two radiators with a 120mm fan in between

Dual and Triple 120mm versions are also available here (220) and here (320).
Features and Benefits
Installation guidelines
The MCR320-QP and MCR320-Res can be installed using Swiftech's MCB120 "Radbox".
Radiator possible orientations:
MCR120-QP
- Vertical (inlet/outlet at top) : yes
- Vertical (upside-down): possible, but not recommended due to accumulation of air over time; we recommend using the MCR120-Res instead
- On the side: yes
- Horizontal (either face): yes
MCR120-Res
Functional reservoir
- Vertical (right side up) : yes

Performance curves
In the comparative
curves below, the MCR120 "Quiet Power " version
shows a lower pressure drop (an improvement) at
all flow rates over the earlier MCR120
