Why senfu in particular?

[Iamghey]

It's costs less compared with other kits. (At least in my area)
and I heard that it preforms well

[Stephen Castles]

can you get a senfu radiator separatly ?

[Iamghey]

It's separate, not included with the waterblock + reservior. go check it out at www.senfu.com.tw

Performance of Senfu is not particularly amazing, at least on the stuff of theirs I've seen. They use an Al block which is a bad start, esp as they have a copper rad (corrosion-o-matic). Also they have 6mm tube on their stuff which is just ridiculously small. The senfu rads can be modded to take larger tubing but a heatercore rad is a better option.

[Iamghey]

They have a completely new design, their radiator now has 9.5mm tubing, their waterblock is totaly different, it's an al based heatsink with cu fins and a plastic shell. I don't speak good English, so just go check it out yourself.

i just now noticed you nick name, are you really ghey ? whats with the name ?

[Iamghey]

Sorry, I know you're interested in me, but I'm not gh3y... this name is easy to remember and people will remember me easily.. at least gh3y people

[Iamghey]

I just noticed your 2X DVD rom... what's up with that? 2X???

[Stephen Castles]

it was free, friend gave it too me. Stop wrecking on my stuff

[Stephen Castles]

at least i have a sig :cool:

[Iamghey]

what is a sig?

[Stephen Castles]

siganature, like my system specs and stuff :eh?:

Stephen, the reason mtv "supports" such people is because not doing so would be discrimination, as TJ (or Patrick Henry or George Washington said:D ) "i do not support what you have to say, but i defend with my life your right to say it" while i may not agree with certain people, i believe they have their rights as well.....good call WIlliam:)

Ok I'm going to try and get back on topic here :)
Just looked at the site, clicked link, pics down, so I'm going on a small pic - hard to say much about it.
Anyway it does look better, still the Al/Cu mix, but water wetter will fix that. Their previous rad was 9.5mm tubing, they just crippled it with a tiny barb, with a bit of modding it's about on a par with a DD cube (source: BillA's article). I'm curious as to why they have metal springs in their tubing, to stop it flattening I guess... sounds good as long as they don't corrode.

[Iamghey]

THey say that it'll give better waterflow and prevent the tube from bent too much, it looks pretty good to me

[Iamghey]

Correction: The springs prevent bad waterflow and the tubes from bending

What do you mean by bad waterflow? Is that with relation to tube flattening or some other property of the spring?

[Iamghey]

"What do you mean by bad waterflow? Is that with relation to tube flattening or some other property of the spring?"

Ok, here's what I meant, the springs are to prevent bad waterflow DUE to the tubes flattening/bending.

Oh, and I think it'll enhance waterflow too, u know how the inside of a gun barrel has spirals? This will probably work in a similar way... I don't know.. that's just what I think

[Diggrr]

The springs prevent laminar flow. The water traveling through is slowed down alot just by adhesion with the tubing wall.

This can help the smaller tubing pass water at a greater velocity with a smaller pump.

[ButcherUK]

Actually gun barrels are rifled (the sprials) to give a more accurate flight path not to enhance velocity. I was more thinking along the flattening prevention lines for improvement, definitely a good idea, wonder what those springs are made of.
