Any benefit from two heatercores?
 

Okay, I have the option of buying either the chieftec full tower or the chieftec mid tower. My question is, would I benefit at all if I were to upgrade to the Chieftec full tower and add a second radiator? Here is what i WILL have:
Ehiem1250
A CPU Block(either the SwiftechMCW5000 or the CatharLRWW)
A GPU Block(either the SwiftechMCW50 or someother GPU block)
and maybe a HDD block(most likely #Rotor's HDD block)

The radiator i will get is equivalent to a XLR120, so, should I just stick with one? Or should I get two?

Your heatload is relatively low, so adding a second core *might* drop your temps by one degree (my guess).

Probably not, unless you have a really big heatload....

But then you can feel highly superior because of superior cooling goodness :D.

well well well....look who it is:)

Okay, so if I run two radiators, will it be okay if I have one radiator pulling air into the case, and another pulling it out? Basically, I will have one radiator pulling cool air in, and another pulling the air out. Is that okay? Cause the warm air from one radiator will be exhausting through another. My other option is to have both radiators pulling cool air in, but then I will have problems with exhausting the air....:mad: :mad:

Don't worry about that. The case won't burst

should I just drill some holes for the air to escape through then?

id have both pushing air into the case, having the cold external air blowing over the radiator/heatercore. Yeah, you can just drill some holes somewhere to let the air escape...or just mount a fangrill somewhere(with a hole behind it)without the fan...

i got 2 HC'z; u don't need it, but you definately spin em fans slower ;-)

It's possible to run the same hot air, just run it through in the reverse order of the waterflow, i.e. stack the cores, with the fresh air going into the second core in the loop, first.

I doubt you'd see any temp difference at all, unless you've got pretty good airflow.


Case burst... LOL!

I've got my heatercores running that way... cool air sucked into one, then the same air through the next one. It still performs better than a single core.
