Using a car radiator for passive cooling?
 
I was browsing on ebay and I saw a brand new rover 214 radiator for sale. It measures at about 50cm x 40 cm x 5 cm. The type of fins are the heatercore style, it's basically a big heatercore if you know what i mean.

I was wondering, will it be good enough for passive cooling if i bolted it on the side of a full tower case? Will it be good enough for a dual amd (barton with L5 mod) as well as a 9800 non pro. I do plan on some moderate overclocking. Since I am building this as a mainly Audio Workstation (as well as the odd fragging) so the quieter the better.

Its not like a heatercore. They're made differently and use aluminum, not brass. It will probably work though. Just take precautions since you're dealing with mixed metal.

Nonono, one of the reason that had me thinking was the fact this radiator is made of copper, not aluminium.

Here is the link to the item on ebay.
