anyway to identify HC?

I got http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...&rd=1&item=2479131811&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT for cheap and was wondernig if it would help or hinder my system I'm building. Not really sure if it's a good or bad one.

Currently have a mag3 on order that'll pump through one of http://home.comcast.net/~wa261/new.JPG for the cpu. On the GPU line I have my hydor l30 that's pumping through a 120mm BIX. I was thinking about adding this to one of those loops just cause it's there. good idea/bad idea, which loop?

Thanks,
Froz

All heater cores are good. The standard (Chevette) is the worst, I think, and is still better than most aftermarket radiators (all but the 120.3) It's not worth it if you already have radiators, though.

Click to expand...

this one has got 5/8" ID tubes sticking straight out the top. would adding that to the hydor put too much restriction on?

No. It won't affect your flow rate noticeably, although a better upgrade would be to your CPU block. That will probably change your temperatures more (still not very noticeable...)
