Thanks for the reply.
How does a reservoir help with flow rates? What I've read indicates that reservoirs hurt flow rate because they slow down flow velocity at the reservoir.
Yea, I've been thinking about the baffle idea for the PSU but wondering how much impact it will have once I get the CPU heat out of the case.
I just realized that I probably should have bought the Danger Den Heater core.

It seems to be a bit bigger than the Bonneville heater core, comes with barbs already installed, and cost the same as the one I just bought at Autozone. Bummer. I might return it.

If you don't know what a baffle is look here: http://www.antec.com/us/productDetai...?ProdID=81800#
Notice the thing on the top of the case (look at the photos). That should give you a good idea of what a baffle is. If you need more help, just ask. |
