    You could always make the tank out of something clear to maintain the look, mineral oil is also clear.

    1. no, convection will take care of it
    2. i think 2 radiators is already too many, i wouldn't add a third.
    3. You don't NEED those flow rates. They might be what you're targeting. It's all a matter of what you think you need in terms of flow.
    4. Mineral Oil, unfortunately, is not cheap, but on the upside it will never go bad as long as you keep contaminates out.
    5. anytime

    why don't you take a bunch of cheap fans mount them on the backside (non visible side) of the rad and whit a controler only let them kick in when cpu hits like 50 degrees and then the fans spinning at 1000 rpm (still olmost inaudible)

    My cpu never reaches 50°C not even in a passive setup

    I get good, very ood results inducing convection with 4 fans mounted under the 2 rads sandwiched together.

    I don't understand why adding a third radiator would be a bad thing. If I don't need that flow it means that I have goon enough flow already. Adding a third radiator would improve temperatures no?

    P.s. I really can submerge the alu radiators because right now the water and the weight is substancial and the rads are suspended by 2 "L" type supports. I really don't think they will take more kg of oild and container.

    I will look into it....

    thanks
