good heatercore?

Dub_C · 02-04-2003, 03:22 AM

i have a heater core form a laser so its number 2-668 on the heatercore4u site (http://www.heatercore4u.com/2-668.htm)

anyways i just want soem info on if this is a good heatercore to use or not i got it for free so i would like ot use it plus i don't plan on mounting it in the case so size doesn't really matter

i also plan on using a ys tech 120mm fan on it (rated at 135cfm) wil lthis be adequate?

thanks

135 CFM can´t cool Tjernobyl, but should be enough for a computer.
I guess there are more parameters than just flow to consider, but I leave that for the more expereinced.

Do you have copper in your system? As that appears to be a aluminum rad the battery effect could be a problem. You'll need to use a alum. waterblock to avoid that, and that means lower performance.

That fan will provide plenty of air.

Just make a small scratch somewhere it won't show on the tanks and on one of the tubes. That will tell the tale. If it's a all brass/copper rad it will do you a good job.
