Isn't that article meant to be more on the news side, instead of the reviews...?

Pleas ignore this if I am totally wrong.

Technically its an Article which sits under the Reviews section as the news section moves too fast

But nope you're not totally wrong...its just one of those things

Well its all news at the end of the day. Hope it keeps the legend alive. That was steve baby and what a baby at that ... Legends never die they live for ever ...

Good to see,

personally i hope this goes well for all concerned as the PA120.3, is as stated an iconic piece of kit.

Wouldn't part with mine.

Good luck to all involved, Thermochill cannot die!

All the changes seem to be for the best. Removing the bleed screw is a good idea.

With the fan spacing, it will increase the rads compatability, but also reduce the area of the core, which will only be detrimental to the performance of the rad.

What you guys think?

Good point and there are quite a few cases where fan spacing doesn't matter too (TJ-07, various Lian Li). But TC is just one manufacturer amongst quite a few others (Black Ice, XSPC. Feser, Swiftech...) which all use 15mm. It stands to reason that case compatibility and accessories like grills will never be as widespread for a less popular fan spacing. It makes sense to jump on the 15mm band wagon.

The bleed screw on my PA120.2 has had a slow leak on occasions but I've spotted it easily while leak testing and fixed it. It's a shame this will be going as I've found it quite useful for draining when changing coolant without having to disconnect/remove the rad. But if it means they are easier to make and cheaper as a result, I won't be complaining! I think it's good news.
