is this heater core fine for a radiator ?

alee · Apr 28, 2011

its 6.75 x 6.25 x 2.5 inches

so will it do the job for my water cooling project ?

id also like to know what fan should i put on it ? and is the shroud important ?

Aluminum tubing? If so, toss it.

Umm we have a watercooling sub forum, ask a mod to move it.

You will prolly need a shroud and a HIGH SPEED LOUD fan to make it work.

If it's copper/brass..............

Alum fins, okay, alum inside? Gone............

shroud = yes. Whether or not it will work is dependent on what your heatload is etc.

@Conumdrum its copper ... i just sprayed the outside black... and how do i ask the mod to move it ?

@m0r7if3r how should i make the shroud ? and what material should i use ? this is my first water cooling experiment

Watercooling board sticky talks about it I'm pretty sure...read through that and if they don't I'll dig up some guides for you

Get a car radiator :rofl:

just kidding. Although I would not put it past anyone to try that

As my temps don't go past 35c full load (Phenom II x6 1090T 3.2GHZ), I don't need to use water cooling, but if I did need to, I would get a good WC uint

Yup! This is it in benching mode for the last Forum Wars (which we, OCF, won, btw)

Got all six cores and HT of my 980x up to 4.8ish for WP32 and Vantage.

Awesome, BTW, are those bugs I see on the radiator?

@Bobnova, man that is just pimp :salute:

@ OP, What do you plan on cooling with that thing? It may work as a rad, but it depends on the heat load of what your trying to cool as to whether or not it will be effective.
