I'm new to the forum (been lurking a while) and I'm researching a move to water cooling. I'm eventually going to OC the 3500+ in sig as well as the x850xt video card in it.
I thought I read somewhere that a heater core (like one for the Chevette or Bonneville) requires more air flow (higher cfm) than a purpose built computer radiator (I'm looking at a MCR220 QPK or similar). Since I want a computer that's a bit more on the quiet side than an uber overclock, I would like to use my Loon 120SL (the low output, 47cfm model) to keep things quiet. Is it true a heater core requires more air flow than a MCR220-QPK?
I have more questions but I'll save those till I get a bit more research... and they are a different topic anyway.
Thanks for any input.
