I need a neoprine gasket for a tripple Radiator. Anyone know where I can get one or where I can find the neoprine to make one? I know I've seen it somewhere, but can't find them now.

What make rad? I only know of Thermochill rads having Neoprene gaskets. Unfortunately, they won't fit other rads without some decent tweaking.
LOL! They don't even fit Thermochill rads without stretching to hell!Originally Posted by Waterlogged
There is no point of using it, besides it is a pain in the ass to take it out.

Funny you should say that because, I have a .2 right here beside me that has a good gasket.

If you can't find any, get some sound reducer stuff and use it to make yourself you own gasket. It worked for me many times.

Neoprine is a nice material with all sorts of insulating properties. I want to use it as a gasket betwen my radiator and the case. I might just make my own. Someone showed me this link but the neoprine here is only 1/8 inch. I'd much rather have closer to 1/4 inch thick.

I've done that too, but that sound reducer stuff compresses and looses shape over time.
Go to Mcmaster.com. They have all sorts of Neoprene.
i have gotten 5 neoprene gaskets for TC 120.3 rads, all have fit with minimal stretching.
I actually like using them
but i have to say, the neoprene that is shipped with Thermochill radiators are really low quality cheap craptastic neoprenes...
they crumble to dust and does not hold shape that well, the adhesive is super strong and it's a pain in the ass to clean...
i just came back from Japan and purchased some neoprene sheetings with adhesive back... these are very nice... sadly, i forgot to pick up some 5mm ones...

The gaskets are supposed to be a stretch fit. This means that the cross bars that go across the rads surface with nothing beneath them are tight enough to pull upwards slightly and press against the fan to ensure an airtight seal between each fan to prevent airloss in case there is positive pressure or a cause of back pressure applied to the rad by the chassis.
The gaskets only ever need stretching width wise - simply stick one edge down, aligning the inside of the thin part of the gasket to the inner edge of the sidewall where it folds round, then stretch over and stick down the other side. That ensures it doesn't snag the blades of the fan.
