Ok, I have one 150Watt+ Radiator, and I'm buying an Extreme Copper 600Watt+ Radiator (over twice the power of a Black Ice extreme) should I use them both?

I'm thinking that if it disperses that much heat then it should never go above ambient... (can cool 3x156Watt Peltiers and an 1800+!!!) but hey, two better than one!

Yes but finding a heatercore is HARD!

And this rad is only £28! So sohuld i join them both? Series or paralell? I mean as I'm running in paralell I could have a Rad for each!!

It would make barely any difference. I've seen an article on the frontpage where the guy runs through like 6 different radiators for 3-4 degree loss. You'll have to put up with more noise as well.

Sorry spelling:rolleyes:

For some reason here in the UK NO-ONE knows what a Heatercore is, I get glib remarks like "you want a Radiator?" and "Oh aircon cooling" man where can I get one?

All I need to know is what types of car there in (diesel petrol etc) and where!!!

lol so funny:D

No, the Big Momma, an admittedly smaller sized heater-core was rated at 1300 watts. My Ford one is rated at 1500...BIX is nice, and very compact, but it can't beat a heatercore.
