Best Radiator for High Heat Output
 
I plan on running a 220 watt pelt in conjunction with a wb on an overclocked XP chip, northbridge, and GPU....I had my eye on the BIX, but I'm not sure its the best.....I'm not necessarily after a 120mm radiator, so post anything that is just as good or better...specs and comparisons are good : )

your best bet is a heater core the BIX is great for tight cases but a heater core has the best heat disspation

Anomaly2181 07-30-2002 02:29 AM

like a heater core for a car? got any links?

A local scrapyard will be the best option.
Yes the BIX is totally overpriced for what it's able to do.
Try to find either a good heatercore, or a race / sports car radiator.
In the event you dont find anything, D-Tek carry a good heater core.

Or go to napa, carquest, o rileys, autozone... etc and ask for a chevette heatercore.

I believe they are around $25

Or look here, they have the 89 Camaro copper heater core with barbs for $29, I recommend the shroud too. http://dtekcustoms.safeshopper.com/19/cat19.htm?701

the ford econoline van HC is very big, and has two 5/8" barbs... requires no modification. ...will fit in front of Inwin Q500, but leaves little room for anything else... :)

The "Big Momma" won the test on www.overclockers.com, and AFAIK DangerDen are selling it... Massive area, and huge internal volume. Just the right mix for some good watercooling:cool:

As I remember, the big momma IS a Chevette HEater Core.

Well, I'm trying one of those "cooling tower" devices like I first saw over at the Hardforums. I've made a few modifications to mine for better transfer. Here's a pic:

That's my case over to the left a bit, the round top building you see is the waterblock.

(hehe)
