Hmm!
 

Now if I can get one or 2 of these and mount my 150mm papst (draw, 5-7V)on a 1" shroud.... :evilaugh:

I'm thinking about cases for this rad. I wonder if it would fit in the lower section of a Stacker with an intake underneath (would have to add castors). I'm being obsessive about not loosing drivebays.

Yes to the stacker question above, and it defo fits peachy in a LianLi PC60 with VERY minor modifications required (3 lines to cut with a jigsaw / dremel / hacksaw, 6 holes to drill).

However, in a PC60 it leaves you with only 5.25" bays (ie: 2x optical drives, 2x HDDs in 3.5 > 5.25 adapters, 1x Matrix Orbital in front of one HDD, 1x FanBus in front of the other...)

Will post modification guide and parts required etc within next few days...

That would be much appreciated Marci. Please post a link to the thread in here. Thanks ;)

Edit: typo

In response to the remarks on plastic tanks in the DDC failure thread. Personally, I wouldn't care if the tanks were plastic if the price fell at or below a BIX. I wouldn't expect most people to care either since it would be a better product at the same or better price.

those rads look nice!

Just bought one of these - great construction quality, very nice rad.
I am currently looking at a new case too so will eagerly await any pics of other guys installs...

I have thought both about a new Lian Li with a 120mm front intake. OR a V-1100 and having the rad on the base as Marci described. I am slightly worried about dust buildup though in that setup.

Any comments on that?

Just get some decent opencell foam and place it between rad and case to act as a dustfilter... or a pair of old tights / stockings...

Have done the PC60 install now that I've bought a new dremel (burnt the last one out after many years of use), just waiting for digicam batteries to charge and I'll post up the worklog(ish)

Guide done and posted - http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...378#post141378

Excellent, can't wait. I've just purchased a £4.99 case to dump my hardware in temporarily aircooled so I can clean out the old cooling loop and get some new parts for it.

Good thread on mounting here: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/sh...d.php?t=378300

Thats my thread Marci! LOL. I should stick to the simple nick i guess. :)
Does that look OK? Do you have any suggestions to which of the two ways i mount it?
Ta.

On the base sucking up thru the floor venting out the front would be my preference.

Yeah, that was my thought too. I will post pics when i get stuff ready. Currently writing up PhD thesis wso this probably wont be till after hand in - 24th June! :)

Ps Will over-clock be selling the mounting kit?

Ps Will over-clock be selling the mounting kit? Not sure how else to secure it to the base of the case.

Unless you have a cat....trust me on this one. ;)

Hehe - no feline hairs around. :)

Hmmm...
Sounds like some sort of periodic reminder to remove the accumulated cat hairs, including a hair-ball-upchuck audio track might be just the ticket :)

Tesla Coils... :D

Just recieved the V1100 today. :)
Its much dinkier than i expected, the P160 will be a tight fit!
Will post pics as i start work on the case...

EDITED: Made new thread as realised this is probably not the best place to start posting pics. :)

moved to same separate thread (good idea!)

Cathar,

You asked me to address this in Pro Forums so I am.

Let me restate the question for you. You created a radiator with a core surface area approximately 10% greater than a Chevette heater core. Your data shows that you get 15%-30% better performance that a Chevette heater core.

A) Is that not predictable given the relationship between surface are and heat dissipation?
B) I am asking honestly, what is the break thru? :shrug:

Performance is not linear to surface area.
Check out BillA's http://thermal-management-testing.com/ThermoChill.htm.

HE120.1: c/w = 0.039
HE120.2: c/w = 0.024

You'd expect twice the performance from twice the SA, but you'd not get a C/W of 0.195, you'd only get 0.024.

So, a 15% to 30% improvement from only a 10% increase in SA is none too shabby.

A 120.2/BA sized core with the FPI and tube count Cathar proposes would show a true comparison, but then you'd also need to take noise into consideration...
