I found that DangerDen is selling Chevette cores for $35 each.
What i need is a small comparison of the chevette and the Alu hcore i have already.
The Alu Heatercore:
Dimensions of the heat dissipating area
Width:160mm
Height:235mm
Depth:45mm
Heat dissipating area:1692cm^3
Fins: fins every 1mm (235 aluminium fins in a hcore)
And the copper one (Chevette):
Dimensions of the heat dissipating area
Width:150mm
Height:160mm
Depth:50mm
Heat dissipating area:1200cm^3
Fins: No idea, but 90% of people here use it, so you'll know
What I need is some comments on performance of both of those hcores.
I already have 3 of those Alu cores, but I'm wandering whether to change them to the copper ones. I personally think the alu ones gonna be better (I'll have 3 of them, with total area of 5000cm^3 and 6x120mm, 2 on each and a lot more fins, lower airflow but much greater area), but I'm just a man...
The reason for this post is that I'll be ordering from DangerDen in a week of 2, and I've got like ~$100 to spend on something. That somethin *could* be 3 chevette radiators.
The black Ice Pro is crap, so I'd have to go for the extreme if i were to chose Black Ice, but then I can't have anything else, and I doubt a Black Ice Extreme ONLY could cope with a 226W pelt on a highly OCed XP, a 56-72W TEC on a GPU + the heat of NB, PSU, HDD thus the idea of 3 Hcores...
The issue is I want to cram as much dissipation area into my BigTower as possible. I have space for that, meaning:
180mm x 280mm x 12mm on the front bottom
180mm x 280mm x 180mm on the back top.
The bottom one would be placed parallerly to the front wall, while the 2 back top would be parallerly to the sides, I hope you get the picture...
Note: As I'll need like 3 of either of the cores, the issue is as follows: Each alu would get 2x120mm fans (80CFM total) which give a total of 6 120mm fans, the copper ones would only get:
one 120mm fan (~40CFM), no push-pull config possible (lack of space) for the first one, and 3-4 fans on the two others. All fans going to be shrouded independantly (ex. division: 1 fan for half of the core, the second fan for the second half)... please do comment on it
