    Dual Rad needed for Processor and chipset?

    dual rad??? no way. go for a quad... sorry - I just have to throw that out to scare the neighbors every now and then. Actually, that is a tough question to answer without more info -- what kind of heatload are you dealing with (i.e. what are you overclocking, to what speeds are you OCing...

    Best radiator?

    hmmm..actually, I think that would be the best per square inch as opposed to the one that effects OC ability the most (i.e. the lowest overall temp for the coolant and core/best overall heat dumping capacity). That can be overcome with airflow...an 80 x 80 rad could trump anything available if...

    Heater Core or BIX ?

    aite - I'll probably just have to order one at some point. I hate trying to build anything from spec sheets alone as there is always something on the actual piece of hardware that is not obvious from the specs...that one never fails. The BIX2 is a perfect example - from the specs you could never...

    Heater Core or BIX ?

    first, biohazard -- thanks for the diagram and the pics - very helpful. I have a BIXII here that I have been playing with for some time and I have a shroud that is almost worked out for it. My primary concerns with that one and long screws are the positioning of the flow channels. Usually, at...

    Heater Core or BIX ?

    hmmm...the sides couldn't have much of an angle as the rad is roughly the width as a 120mm fan and not much more than 240mm in height on the core. Anyone have a good pic of the front of one of those rads without fans on it? In any event, it doesn't look like it would be much of a problem with a...

    Heater Core or BIX ?

    are you talking about the MCR-220 dual 120 radiator that is in the extreme duty apex kit like this one? http://www.swiftnets.com/products/H20-APEX.asp since we're throwing eyecandy around, here are some weapon monsters... blue:

    Heater Core or BIX ?

    The fans are definitely more effective when mounted to the outside of the shroud. We designed the shroud so that the standoff between the shroud and the face of the core (i.e. the fins) would be just a bit over 40mm which is a fairly good balance between space concerns and optimal airflow. All...

    Heater Core or BIX ?

    summer normally gives me a double whammy --- my caseload goes way up as people seem to enjoy going to court in summer for some reason and the demand for H2O gear takes a noticable jump as well -- as such, I have been hammered. :eek: sorry for any delays in pm responses - this summer has...

    CMStacker or Lian LI V2000 ?

    check out the PSU on top of the cabinet (the PSU is the big honkin' silver box that has a handle on it like a briefcase)- 1500 watts...it won't fit in a v2000. :) ok - i admit it - i cheated by digging up a PSU that is about 1/2 the size of a standard midtower case. :D

    BIP2 v. BIX2

    the BIP2 is usually better than the BIX2 for low airflow situations as its fins do not have as much airflow resistance as the BIX2 -- hence, you can use quiter/lower cfm fans and still get decent airflow through the rad.

    Repent!

    Eagle One Cast Aluminum Wheel Cleaner from Advance Auto, Autozone, etc. -- the kind that says "Not for use on clear coated wheels!" - it is acid. Spray it on, wait 20 seconds, rinse off and dry it. $5 for a spray bottle about the same size as a large spray bottle of window cleaner. The most...

    FS: Weapon 302 Shroud - CNC machined

    the job is forcing me to be out of town on ultra short notice until this Friday (June 10). I have no idea what kind of internet access I will have on the road but if there is any available, I'll try to check in at least a couple of times before I get back. weapon--

    CMStacker or Lian LI V2000 ?

    i ran into that with my shrouds - a lot of people wanted to mount a 77 b'ville with shroud in the lower front of the case -- in some stackers it would drop right in but in others they had to shave a couple of mm off of each side of the shrouds mounting lip. That was a big "WTF??" as all of the...

    Supreme Mag Drive Pumps (half-off) for watercooling

    the mag 3 is the one that has been most often used in H2O cooling with the mag2 and mag5 running somewhere a bit behind in common usage. the danner pumps were used fairly heavily about 4 years ago (wow...time flies) and a decent number of pros and cons surfaced when a larger part of the H2O...
