Yah i would measure the dT between air inlet and water outlet. When i test it and it isnt repeatable and donesnt work im gonna break down in tears and need to be commited though.

Im not sure I understand ur comment on the sizes of radiators. From what i can see it wont make a difference. I would just use the appropriate amount of fans that are needed and comence with testing.

Bills article you mentioned is quite an amazing and thorough aritlce but the one caveat i have with it is that he does make the pressure drop the same for all radiators which is great for analytical data but for something more tangibe to the average reader it isnt as useful. If everyone in the WCing community had test setups like bills and we were all PHD's in thermodynmaics then sure its the best way. but most watercoolers arnt anywhere close to that.

10C sounds about right. well that is if you have a well balacned system. alot of kits these days dont achieve 10C delta between ambient and water temp as they dont have the rad capacity, but 10C sounds about right.

Looking at that PDF manual i dont see any sensible way of heating up the water with one of those shuts as any exposure to water and i am gonna blow up alot of gear. So my question is how do i get the heat from that shunt into the water?
