Default Re: New WCing article at Tech ARP

I think everything on that page is not all that correct.
Quote:
The other type of radiator that is quickly gaining popularity is the heater core.
Water cooling started with heater cores. If anything it is the other way around. Specifically made for PC water cooling rads are getting more popular and heater cores are on their way out.

Also don't entirely agree with this:

These heater cores are excellent for water cooling since they are highly efficient and will provide the best amount of cooling capacity you can get.
Not sure this is right at all. I was under the impression some of the better new PC WC rads had better cooling capacity.

As for the push/pull argument I don't see a normal case fan producing enough pressure to compress gas. I think that is necessary to make that gas law apply right?

Also over the years I have tried it all and never could accurately measure the temp difference between the two methods. I think pH did a test and summery of his findings at one time. If I remember right there was hardly a difference.
