2 Pass Vs. Single Pass Rads...

[tek538]

I'm looking at the Black Ice radiators and I'm curious as to which type gives you better preformance, the 2 pass or the single pass. Why you would want to go with one over the other.

The 2 pass is a better performer, simply because they didn't optimize the BI X-Flows as single pass - they just replaced the end tanks, without redesigning the tubes or anything. If they had optimized it for single pass, the difference might be negligable (And even in its current state, we're only looking at a 2-3 C difference).

get drunk, knock up one of the brides maids, and then knock out your pc needs afterwards. trust me its for the better, you'll be so much more relaxed and ready for working on your pc afterwards.
