Dual Radiators or not

[mils128]

Hey guys i am totally changeing my case and with that i get a Heatercore and shroud so i am wondering should i run a dual radiator with my HC & my BIX the only thing that goes on this loop is a Athlon 64 that wants to be OC'ed badly?


Case: Mountain Mods U2-UFO
HC & Pondmaster Pump
All of this Curtosy(spelled that wrong) of Wicked_Klown

What heatercore is it?

There is no such thing as overkill.

Remember that.

I'd say if you've go the room for a dual Rad, then run it. Question is, whats the flow/head on your pump?

Remember that you will NEVER get below ambient no matter how many rads you have.

Unless you stick one in the freezer....

or in a tub of cold water....

Or spray it with liquid CO2....

The HC is from a 72 Caprice Classic. Also the pump handled a dual 120mm HC and a chevette HC along with a WW, without breaking a sweat.

I will definatly have the room. Pump flow: 700 gph
Header 13ft

I really don't think you need 2 if you are just going to oc the AMD64. Maybe if you were WC the chipset and vid card. I just don't see why using 2 would be worth it in that set up. AMD 64s are really held back by temperature as they are their stepping. I would say if you are planning on watercooling more things in your case then go for it. If not, just stick with one good rad.

i may in the future wc my x800 pro. neaver thought of wc my northbridge but i am going to attach a small fan to it.
i didn't know if i should do it know or wait i guess i will wait till i do actually wc my car then i will maybe do the dual setup.

Still, That can be considered brinnging the ambiant temp down to what you are treating that heatercore with.
