Default radiators

anyone know of a good radiator I can get that can fit about 2 80cm fans? my main concern is size, I want to mount it in the front of my case lian-li pc-60, a decent heater core would also work, the maximum length is about 8" and height 5.2", I'm also hoping to not have to spend more then $45 with shiping, thanks alot

Sysfx.net carrys a single pass rad that sounds like what you want.

3.5" X 7.5" if I recall right, but I think they wanted more like $60.00 for them.

Err why not use a heater core if it will fit? <$20 and very low performance so you might actually get some air through it with a 80mm fan.

I had ok results using 3 80mm fans ducted onto a large heatercore. It was really quiet anyway.

Check the heatercore database, then pick it up from www.leakycar.com . Great service!

the BLack ice micro 2 looks really sweet, anyone know if available in the U.S. or the price?
I've looked at some heatercores and the only ones around the right size I can find are like $40, for that I might as well just buy a radiator... if you find anyone knows of any decent priced ones that are fairly small, I'd like to know thanks

yea, the micro is there, but on some of the UK sites there is a black ice micro 2, which mounts 2 80cm fans... I was hoping I could find one of those around here...

they have a dual 80mm radiator althought they seem restrictive.

don't mean to be a pain in the a$$ but everyone is always talking about heater cores aroudn $20, but whenever I look one up they're lik $60, do I need to keep looking or what (p.s. most of the ones I'm checking ar 7.5x5.25 or smaller)

Keep looking, yes!

If you've got a good fan, look at heatercores that are at least 2 inch thick. They're usually more expensive though.

I just got Fedco# 2-304, 6 by 8 by 1 5/8", and got it for $29.00. If my fan tests well, I might pickup a second one.
