Black Ice II vs. Heatcore

[saaya]

sweet weapon! i remember that thread hehe

good to see you back! if you want i can help you writing that guide
let me know

you can use a lot of the stuff you posted in threads like the one you linked to and just change some sentences and words to make it the text for your guide helps a lot to save time and it makes more fun to work on text like that and adding and changing stuff than writing all the things youve said so often down again from scratch

and yes, painting a heatercore doesnt really have a bad impact on temps. afaik painting it black with a thin layer of spray paint even increases the heat dissipation

that spary paint is a very very very thin layer, and the paint is not insulating that much, especially since its so thin. if youd use silicon based paint instead you would def get worse temps as it insulates a lot and will create a much much thciker film of paint on the surface of the rad/fins.
