Ok, so my friend has some wierd little POS case, and he's completely against cutting it. Even after I showed him how well my 120mm blowhole turned out, he said no. He already has a BIM on the front intake 80mm fan of his case, but his temps aren't that great. (water is 32C, cpu is 51C) the water is from a radiochack monitor deal, and cpu is MBM while running prime 95. Yea, I know, not accurate, bear with me. This is in a fairly cool room too.
his setup is:
A7N8X
2400+ @ 2.36ghz with 1.875Vcore
9500pro @ 350/321
Cooled by this:
Maze4->old-style DD gpu block->BIM->via aqua 1300
So, he has two 60mm fans in the back of his case, and he wants to use them to mount a radiator.
I can't find anything this small, my first thought was to get a heatercore and cut/solder the tubing so it would work, but it'd need some serious airflow, and that would be loud.
So, I was thinking of using some copper heatsinks and copper stock. My basic idea was to take some copper stock in a U shape, and just cross-drill a basic path through the U, put barbs on each end, and solder the heatsinks to the inside of the U shape. Make a duct deal for this, and mount it to the fans.
I know, it's probably dumb, and pointless, but hey, he's paying as long it drops his temps some.
Will it work somewhat well? I'd estimate we're dumping 150-170 watts of heat into this loop right now, and it's running pretty warm.
