Good watercooling kit.

All well and good, however even with another rad thrown in you're not going to see 15c improvment in temps. We're talking 2-5c by throwing in a second radiator, assuming the limit was being approached on the first one.

This is pretty funny. The difference between the best block and worst block on Procooling's testing is only about 5C. The difference between a storm G5, and an ancient, crappy swiftech 5000 is only about 4C. The G5 isn't even one degree better then the old Whitewater, and the difference between a 1048 pump and the fastest Iwaki pumps is just a 1 or 1.5 degrees for most blocks tested.

I think we need perspective here. 2-5 degrees is a HUGE difference at the ranges we deal with, since theres not much room for improvement once you account for the thermal resistance of copper and the TIM joint. Its the difference between the best and the worst blocks. Not really critisizing anyone here, just a little amused by the awesome lack of perspective people have when picking parts.

saratoga, I was going to mention it, but I didnt feel like ranting... (anyre more than i already do)

Sounds almost like a Post I made at OCF earlier today

please dont tell me ppl are plagurizing. Its not like anyone will make money or get a grade on it.. lol..

More like great minds think alike or can see the forrest for the trees.

Thanks for the answers. The rad is a Harrison 85A. I don't have a picture of it, but its about 2cm thick. Its made of brass.

or the fact that simple remounting can show as much gain wise in performance as adding that second radiator

2cm??? t hat is incredibly thin. Is it solid brass?? no copper fins or tubing?

[AH^DK]

Hmm, can't seem to get my Digicam working, but how good is 2 DD12V-D4 compared to the Aqua Xtreme pumps?

Think that I measured wrong, I appears to be more like 4-5cm.

[AH^DK]

I have just measured it, and it is 18x18x5cm. Would it be good as a second rad? Some of the fins are bent, but with 4x92mm fans, would it be good then?

[MaxxxRacer]

it looks good.. it should work.. looksl ike alot of hte other heatercores we have around here..

the D4 is almost as good as the aquaextreme. But he D4 has less head presure and puts in roughly twice the heat into the water )15wats compared to the 50Z's 7 watts)

[AH^DK]

Okay, but wo you know about if the bent wings may have anything to say?

[MaxxxRacer]

like how bent are they.. from the pick they looked ok... as long as its not blocking the flow of air too much then it shoudl be fine.

[AH^DK]

They are bent a little, some of them of course, but I'll mount some fans on it later and check the flow.

Do you know where to buy a Iwaki MD-15R pump? Because that should be very good pump.
