What is known

Heavy cooling overhead from the original watercooling plan. First photo mapping shows used EK radiators with visible fin dust/debris and fan assemblies. The August 15, 2026 evidence-expansion set documents one individual radiator from the three-unit inventory group. Four supplied photographs show the thick black radiator body, three 120 mm fan sections, two ports at one end, dust or debris across the fin field, surface discoloration, and several localized bent or compressed fins. A second accession frame supplied the same day shows the operator-identified two remaining XTX 360 radiators side-by-side, each with a three-fan assembly mounted. That frame reconciles the prior three-unit count at group level: one radiator in the close-view set plus two additional radiators in the paired overview. It does not establish fan manufacturer or model, hidden fin condition, port configuration, or which physical radiator corresponds to any earlier photograph. The white support beneath the first radiator, nearby loose ties and leads, bed covering, and objects at the margins are photographic context only. None of the radiators has a photographed serial number or permanent sub-identifier, and the images do not establish internal cleanliness, thread condition, prior coolant chemistry, flow, or leak integrity. EK's manufacturer product page identifies the XTX 360 as a 400 x 130 x 64 mm, 11-FPI radiator with copper fins, copper tubing, brass chambers, steel housing, three 120 mm fan positions, G1/4 ports on both sides, and a separate bleed/fill/drain port. Retain the three-unit group count as visually reconciled but provisional at the individual-unit level. Separate and label RAD-001-A, RAD-001-B, and RAD-001-C during physical inspection; photograph each radiator and fan labels independently. Each unit needs exterior cleaning, careful fin inspection, thread inspection, flush, and an independent pressure or leak test before loop service.

Why it remains connected

manufacturer model verified / three-unit count now visually reconciled across two accession sets / individual labeling, cleaning, flush, thread inspection, and independent leak tests pending. Disposition: keep pending test. The object remains associated with L’ARCHIVE / CaseLabs Mercury S8 Restoration.

What remains unresolved

used three-radiator inventory group / one unit documented in close views with dust or debris, surface discoloration, and localized fin deformation / additional two units documented together with mounted fan assemblies / all units need individual inspection. manufacturer model verified / three-unit count now visually reconciled across two accession sets / individual labeling, cleaning, flush, thread inspection, and independent leak tests pending. Terms marked unknown, provisional, pending, or unverified remain part of the record until evidence resolves them.
