SFF.Network [SFF Network] SilverStone releases the TD02-Slim and TD03-Slim

SilverStone is launching two SFF-oriented water cooling solutions, the TD02-Slim (240mm) and the TD03-Slim (120mm). By combining slim 22mm thick radiators with 120mm x 15mm fans, they are able to deliver a liquid cooling system that's only 37mm thick for rad+fan. Presumably with the decreased radiator surface area and slim fans the performance won't be quite as good as normal CLC's, but the slim profile could make it feasible to fit water cooling in cases that weren't suited to it before. I'm thinking this is aimed at slim cases like the ML07.

That looks promising although I hope those 15mm thick fans will be able too not be to big of a bottleneck.
And ofcourse, here'shoping that the pump is quiet.

This is awesome! I've been looking forward to the release of these 2 AIO coolers for while now. I believe that the only way to get good CPU cooling in a steam machine style case is by using water cooling, so having slimmer AIO coolers will allow us to make the cases even smaller/slimmer.

Looking forward to reading some reviews on them.

Well you can change the fans out, can't you?

It's easier to find a different fan that works and fits than it is to find a different AIO that works and fits.

Hmm, should be small enough to fit in the bottom of the M1.

Ofcourse you can but if the product on its own is not good, it should be addressed by the manufacturer, not by the consumers. Two good 120mm fans will set you back abou 40-50$ which is a good chunk of the price you pay for the complete product.

Interesting product. May be a solution to my cooling woes

Kind of curious why they opted for straight fittings instead of heaving rotary 90° ones. With the tubing like that, 15mm fans seem kind of pointless.

Firefox tells me both sites are attack sites when I go to the links, I was in Ubuntu (Linux) so no harm done, Windows users, watch out, maybe mac users also...

Sounds like Silverstone's website has been compromised .

Yeah I just got that message as well, luckily trusted google on that.

Considering Swiftech's leaking rotary fittings, they probably did it to minimize any potential leaks. I like Silverstone quite a lot, but QC is one of the major points of contention I have with them, so anything they do to minimize potential problems is a plus to me.

I'm also guessing that with the smaller channels in the slim radiator they wanted to reduce restriction as much as possible in the rest of the loop to ensure sufficient performance. 90 degree elbows would be the first thing to go to achieve this.
