I can get this radiator for very cheap. Its a noname radiator. What do you guys think ? Will i get good performance with this radiator ? Give me your opinion please.
It's dimensions are: 24,5 x 19 x 5 cm
It made of alu/copper.

Looks like a really good radiator to me. If you could fit that into your setup, I would think it would perform great with some med-low CFM fans.

Not a great pic of it but it looks like it has low FPI and it's fairly thin.
 
i like it. is it something i can pick up from the auto parts store?

you said its alu/copper. that isnt going to be a problem is it?

The water will only be contacting the copper tubing. It won't be a problem unless you have aluminum elsewhere in your system.
 
I got if off ebay so i dunno but its in new shape.
I asked the same question i asked here in ocforums and this dude replied with this:

"that rad will KILL your flow. too many 180 degree bends. just go buy a heatercore""

what does he mean
 
he means that because you have to force the water in a different direction so many times, the water will move much slower than 1 or 2 bends...
 
The guy from Oz forums has a valid point. I didn't even think about all the bends in that rad.

how does water flow through a heatercore? i am looking at mine right now and i dont see how the water would go through the whole core. does the water even go through the core, or just the top?
 
A heatercore has a whole bunch of channels that are about 1/4" by the width of the radiator. There's a plate connecting them at the bottom the inlet/outlet each go to half of them. So yes, it does go through the whole heatercore.
