Introduction
The MCR220-QP (Quiet Power™)
series radiators are extreme-duty liquid-to-air heat exchangers designed to
be used with two 120mm 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 MCR220 -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 MCR220-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),
- The MCR220-QP Res features an integrated reservoir sufficient for years of operations without coolant refills, and threaded hubs compatible with 1/4" NPSM, BSPP, and G1/4 fitting (1/4" thread to 1/4", 3/8 or 1/2" barbs).
Dual and single 120mm versions are also available here (120) and here (320).

Performance Graphs
Effective April 2007, all MCR220-QP Radiators receive 1/4" NPSM hubs instead of 3/8" NPT hubs. In addition, a performance improvement is also implemented as described in the curves below. Please click HERE to access the performance curves of the MCR220-QP shipped prior to april 2007.

| For reference, the MCR220-QP
dual 120mm radiator shows ~50%
less pressure drop than the MCR120-QP single fan
version. |

In the above curves, we show that the
heat dissipation performance of the new generation MCR220-QP (identified by the 1/4" NPSM hubs) is approximately 10% better.
Example on how to read the above curve:
In
a Swiftech system flowing ~1.0 GPM we observe that
with the fans used (*) running at 7v, a 210 Watts
load -corresponding to an overclocked/overvolted quad-core Intel processor can be dissipated with a mere 10°C
temperature rise of the coolant over ambient air.

The above curves are very similar
to waterblock C/W data and can be interpreted in
the same fashion. They will allow users to estimate
the temperature rise of the water in the circuit,
based on the coolant flow rate.

* Fan noise estimate
based on the following estimations: "If the speed of a fan is reduced
by 20%, the decibel level will reduce by ~5 dB.",
and "addition of a second equal source increases
the sound level by ~3dBA".
