Watercool Announces the MO-RA IV Radiators for 200mm Fans
The MO-RA IV series is the perfect choice for anyone seeking maximum cooling performance and excellent build quality. These monster radiators are fully modular and versatilely expandable, ideal for overclocked gaming computers, workstations or servers that are in use around the clock. WATERCOOL has optimized the fin geometry to increase performance across the entire speed range. The German manufacturer has now opted for so-called corrugated fins, which are designed to provide more power.
In addition, the pre-chamber has been optimized. WATERCOOL has raised the pre-chamber to ensure better pressure distribution. The solid brass connection terminal is now soldered to the tube geometry. This ensures greater mechanical stability and a maximum pressure of up to 5 bar. All MO-RA IV units are thoroughly pressure tested before despatch.
Modular and expandable
The MO-RA IV series can be upgraded and customized extensively. Whether wall mounting with the WALL MOUNT or the installation of a flow-optimized MO-RA TANK with one or more D5 pumps - the possibilities are almost unlimited. According to the manufacturer, you can assemble an external cooling station in a class of its own, naturally with the highest quality workmanship.
User-friendly and convenient
Thanks to years of experience and a lot customer feedback, WATERCOOL has integrated numerous convenient functions. The newly designed fan frame can be installed without screws via Quick Mount, and the fan grill also snaps tightly into place, thanks to a special ball mechanism.
Perfect control with passive, active and aRGB
With the optional passive control, the fans and pumps for the MO-RA IV can be controlled via the mainboard.
The Active Control, which is supported by a microcontroller, offers additional options. The outstanding features include an alarm function, integration of the WATERCOOL FLOW, monitoring of the fill level and display of digital temperature sensors. The Active Control can be conveniently controlled via software or the optional display, which ensures flexible and user-friendly management.
Perfect cable management
The integrated fan frame includes a fan splitter so that all fan cables can be installed out of sight. A 4-pin male to male cable is fed through the back of the MO-RA IV and connected to the computer.
The MO-RA IV series is now available for pre-order at shop.watercool.de. The manufacturer estimates a delivery time of around 30 days.

Without an heat exchanger the temperature of the WC circuit will still be hotter than surrounding air and water condensate on surfaces colder than the ambient air.
Let me explain:
In the early hours of the day, right before sunrise, the metal of the radiator will get colder than ambient temperature and with a humidity of well over 90% droplets will begin to form in the sides and slowly flow to the bottom and accumulate. If you're lucky, the company that sold you the radiator did a very good job with the coating and nothing serious will happen the next time you turn on the PC and the radiator gets hot enough to evaporate the water, leaving only a thin layer of residue. If you're unlucky, the metal of the radiator will start to rust and the water will cause those LED lights to shortcircuit or even worse, shock you.
Especially since the bottom is drilled in so many places, paint coating is so heavy and power to the LEDs is supplied through a PSU with short-circuit protection. Condensation on the radiator is the last of my concern.
It's fine if you don't care about condensation. Most people don't. Even I don't where I'm currently at.
I was just pointing out a very real gap in your logic.
This is a view for my weather station for the last 24 hours. You can see around 6 AM, the dew point and the outdoor temperature get real close.
If we look at humidity level, we can see that around 6 AM, it was near 100%.
Hotter air can hold more water than colder water. A 50% humidity at 5° C have much less water in suspension than air at 30° C with still 50% humidity. Actually the % of humidity is the % of the maximum amount of water you can hold in the air.
I live in a colder climate and we experience the opposite in winter. The cold air from outside get in our house, and because very dry after being heated to indoor temperature. That make the air very dry and uncomfortable. We actually have to run humidifier to keep it bearable.
So again, what you experience is the air no longer being able to hold all the water it have in it. The water have to condensate somewhere and it do not matter if the temperature is hotter/colder, the water just have to go somewhere. In that case a larger radiator would indeed provide more surface for condensation. But that is not because it's colder than air. That is just impossible without something that would actively cool the water.
Also, all this assume you have no air conditioning and you open your windows to cool your house at night. If you have an air conditioner, the temperature will be stable and it will remove humidity from the air anyway.
