Radiator thickness question

[Snoozer]

So what is the thinnest radiators out there now? Looking for a 240 sized rad for my Radeon 4870. Don't particularly care if it is the highest performance or not. Size is the issue.

Must have a 1/4 BSPP honest to god thread. No universal types of threads.

That's your best bet, really.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Is there anyplace in Southern California where I could just go and pick one up?

It's not the length... it's the girth.

I swear I have heard that someone before...

I'd have to say BIP II is a bit more efficient. However, I've never been impressed with their stuff, the mounting holes/mechanism are always garbage. MagiCool Pro radiators measure only 30mm in depth and use the EXACT same copper core as the BI stuff. No, I'm not talking out of my butt. I've been to the production facility in Germany and have seen their material assembly.

The MagiCool rads add an extra 2mm steel shield around the frame of the radiator that is pre-drilled for M3 screws. This helps incredibly towards mounting strength and durability. The problem is, it's pretty ugly if you're big into aesthetics. BIP doesn't have this problem.
