heater core or black ice?
 

I want to get a radiator to replace my big arse rad http://www.nubia.org/pics/dsc_015.jpg and get a smaller one and possibly try to get everyting for my w/c www.nubia.org/pics inside my pc.

So Heater core or Black Ice? WHY?

if you're fussed about size, you'd be better to get a black ice, simply because they are about the smallest you can fit a 120mm fan onto. If you have a bit more size than that, then you can start looking at a heater core

a black ice xtreeme is pretty much the same design as a heatercore... just smaller.. so it dosent perform as well... with a black ice extreeme you probably will only notice a degree or 2 C higher temp than if you used a heatercore...
so if you can fit either a 6x6x2 or maybe even a 6x9x2 heatercore get it if youre prepared to make a shroud for it (not that scary dont need any special tools really just get a thin sheet of aluminium, bend it where required, cut it, and drill some holes in it)... as it performs better than a black ice extreme but is cheaper ...
but if you dont have the space in your case or find building a shroud too scary and you got the cash then a biX should do fine and only perform a couple of degrees less with an average (100w) heatload.

Do u have a picture of what you are saying Pinkster?
