Thinking outside of the box is exactly what we did when we started this project. How does one fit a 120mm radiator/fan assembly into a mini or a mid-tower chassis without any modifications to the chassis whatsoever? Enter the patent pending MCB-120? Radbox: an external radiator mounting kit for liquid cooled systems.

• Overview
• Alternative Products

• Features summary

  • 2 parts construction: holding plate and housing for ease of installation
  • Multiple slots for vertical and horizontal adjustments
  • Bolts directly to 60mm, 80mm, 92mm or 120mm fan holes
  • Custom pass-thru PCI bracket and adapters for 1/2" OD tubing (3/8" ID), designed for use with either quick-connect or conventional fittings such as worm-drive clamps included with kit.

   

  Benefits

  Functional convenience:

  • Bolt-on, plug-and-play installation.
  • Compatibility with an overwhelming majority of computer chassis featuring 60mm, 80mm, 92mm or 120mm fan mounting holes.
  • Multiple slots allow up to 3" of vertical travel, and 2" of lateral travel, providing ample adjustment combinations to eliminate interference with cables, power supply, and side panel.
  • Provides a simple mechanism for "hanging" even larger radiators such as heater cores from the back of the case.
  • Space savings compared to external water-cooling systems: the radiator assembly shares the "dead" space occupied by the wiring behind the case.
  • Reduces clutter inside of the chassis.

  Thermal efficiency benefits:

  The patent pending MCB-120™ "Radbox" contributes to optimize the thermal efficiency of the liquid cooling system, and to reduce computer components temperature by:

  • Using the ambient air outside of the chassis to cool the radiator, instead of the hotter air from inside the chassis: in a poorly ventilated chassis, there could be a difference of up to 10°C in air temperature between the inside of the enclosure and the outside air. The MCB-120™ external solution guarantees that the system will always benefit from the coolest ambient air available, and may result in dramatic improvements of the CPU temperature compared to internal solutions.
  • Eliminating the additional thermal load on the computer components: when a fan is configured to draw fresh air from the outside to cool a radiator installed internally, the air traveling through the radiator is heated, and flows inside the enclosure. This increases the overall temperature of all the components, such as hard drive, memory, etc... The MCB-120™ external solution eliminates this issue, one that can be particularly acute in mini and mid-tower cases with poor ventilation, and will actually contribute in dropping the ambient the temperature inside of the chassis.

  Noise reduction benefits:

  • Use with quieter, yet more powerful 120mm fans

  A simple and economical solution for Power-Users:

  • The MCB-120™ external solution provides power-users with a simple and economical way to install their favorite components without using the Dremmel tool, while keeping their existing chassis.
