MOAR Mother of all Radiators
I was given this radiator over the weekend.
It has never been used, made by a German company Langerer & Reich. The fin area is about 14" by 21". Now I just need to figure out what to do with IT! |

You do nothing. It is aluminum, and unless you want to use a crappy aluminum block, you will suffer corrosion.
Lo siento.

Water Wetter would help, without question, but can you be sure it won't corrode?
I couldn't trust it, I agree with Airspirit. |

if you used several anti corrosion agents in conjunction with water wetter it would be alright...
and if you machined your own type block with al it wouldnt be more than a few degrees C difference But that whole thing is a waste if you woulod just use it in a normal watercooling set up... You need to find soemthing to do with that beaut |

Anticorrosives reduce corrosion, but do not completely eliminate it. The only other way is to use an easily maintainable sacrificial anode.

zinc anyone ?
But this is besides the point.. in a normal watercooling set up taht would be overkill because no matter how much air it put out it will only lower it to room temperature |

Nope... Not Zinc!
The Aluminium will corrode easier than the zinc and therefor the zinc will be even faster corroded... Look at this article: http://www.overclockers.com/tips1041/ It sums up to that the only good metal to stop the AL from corroding would be an aloy of Magnesium... |

Humm... Always thought the zinc would be able to be the sacrificial anode. Oh well thanks for teaching me something today
