Yes, Another Car Radiator Thread....Major 56K Warning!

Awesome work, very creative and I think you've got plenty of radiator capacity there. The only thing I would watch is flow rate after running through all of that and then getting split into 3rds. With as much heat dissipation capabilities as you have, could could probably run several of those pumps without any effects of pump heat dump.

That's cool!

Hi Martin,

Care to offer any input about my last post--pump head/lift?


I don't think I would bother to buy another one of these pumps to run in series. I think I would check out other options. But one thing that has been kinda of toying with me is: pump failure. Power goes out--everything goes off. Pump failure=PC shutdown on overheat. So, it won't be long before I really start looking at that issue!

Anyway, I think you're right about the heat dump. Seems that I have a 20C delta (ambient/cpu). I've been thinking that maybe I'm actually not injecting enough heat into the system to get good efficiency. The opposite of diminishing returns. These rads are designed to dump some heat, so I'm willing to bet that this rad can handle one heck of a heat load. Any thoughts?
