Aren't the G5's twice the price though?
Also, rather than starting a new thread.......
Radiators:
Why do people use heatercores? I'm assuming - size and cost (they are cheaper than those rip-off PC-specific radiators and are small enough to do internally mounted case systems?).
Has anyone used a car radiator before? I used one from a Rover Mini before and was very pleased with the temps I was getting.
This time, I have a larger rad (30cm x 40cm core) bought for £10 from Ebay (brand new).
Using my crude calculations, it can do 1527 watts with a 10'C delta T (water / air), 3.8lpm water flow and some reasonable fans. (Source =

Presumably, with a 5'C delta T, it would dissipate 750 watts, or thereabouts? Also, is heat dissipation linear with airflow, so if I halve the airflow, I get 375 watts?
Thanks for any critique......
