Radiator for dual peltiers...which one?
I am in the planning phase of setting up a water cooled rig and want to go ahead and make it a dual peltier setup.
I've read lots of talk of the new little 4" black radiator that's suppose to be so good. But, what about for 2 80W peltiers? I was thinking more along the lines of DangerDen's Stacked large radiator The stacked radiators are suppose to be so much more efficient than the fin type from what I've been reading. I just want to make sure before I butcher up the case that I install something that will be capable of handling my needs. Anyone have any more info on the little 4" radiator and its handling abilitites...or for that matter, any of the larger type radiators listed on the OCWC site? |

That radiator you put there is the same one as the 4" ones, only bigger. It should work fine, but I would get advice from someone more experienced than me.

That's not the next size up - that's the largest "Heavy Duty" size. These Hayden radiators do look awesome for cooling though. Perhaps if you got a radiator and cooling wasn't enough, you could add a second radiator - either inline (series) or in parallel.

A tube and fin copper radiator is far more efficient than a stacked plate aluminum one.
Of course they cost more, are more fragle, and don't look "as cool". With a copper waterblock the galvanic corrosion problem is also avoided (assuming no other aluminum pieces are in the system). be cool |

We may have a semantics thing here.
A stacked plate radiator is what is shown at the start of this thread, note its construction is a series of plates one adjacient to another. Tube and fin come in several types and combinations of materials, the best being flat tube copper/copper. be cool |

Ahh...I see. I think I misunderstood what you were trying to convey.
I definately want to stay with the same metal all through the system to help prevent the galvonic corrsion. I not sure if the radiator I showed is a copper one or not. Other radiator I'm thinking about is a Lytron model which I KNOW is coppper...little more expensive too! about $146US |
