Ta fer the correction - keep forgetting that! Added EDIT: line in me post to cover the confusion...

Tis definitely a case of no rest for the wicked n' all that jazz ;P

Hence the reservoirs yesterday (see Araldite 2022 thread), and...:

As you can see, shrouded at 12.5 degrees from vertical results in it being rather on the large side... 12.5 degrees from Horizontal resulted in a shroud that wasn't worth bothering with as was ridiculously small... and it's single row, single pass.

^^ 14FPI... tis more see-thru than it appears in the photo... wasn't particularly well squared on the radiator...

^^ Beside a PC60 for scale...

^^ Hanging from an old MountainMods wrapper (old as they no longer use the U wrapper, they use 3x separate panels)

^^ And mounted in the MountainMods...

So, does it LOOK as expected?? Is that shroud seriously correct??? Really want Cathar's input on this seeing as it's the spec he came up with... IMO, 160x160 is still a tad large tho in terms of ability to mount in a case. Width wise it fits, but lengthwise (barb to barb) it's a bit on the long side.. 160x120 on the core, + end chambers would be more accomodatable in terms of yer average case...

Next plan is to get the ThermoChill Waterblocks sorted for use with A64 and LGA775... iirc testing ages ago showed them to perform quite peachy at low to moderate flow, so figure coupled with the rad above, the res and the DDC or CSP-Mag should make a peachy l'il kit... we shall see...! Only thing we're missing is a British-Manufactured pump now... we've done the rest...

SIDENOTE: Are there any other British Manufacturers around anymore that anyone's aware of?? Or is ThermoChill the only one left now? (Bearing in mind XSPC buy their bits in from China so don't really count as a British Manufacturer...)
