Default Aqua Coil + Dtec Heater Core in Parrallel....

Has anyone tried this before.

I am sure I am going to get a lot of people telling me to ditch the AquaCoil........however it does seem to do an decient job (and it is already hard moded into my case

What I am thinking about is taking say a Dtek Rad and placing it behind my Aquacoil, running the two in parrallel, and having a fan and shroud after the Dtek.


Diagram:

:FAN:: AQUACOIL:: DTECK RAD:: SHROUD::FAN:
------>-------------->---AIRFLOW--->-------->------->

(the coil has a good enough shroud built right into the casing)
The fans will probably be the same as the one I am using right now, Sunon 120mm 136CFM.

Has anyone tried this? Does anyone think it will work? I know some people will think I am nuts!

Well its a though. I am still planning out what kinds of updates I will be doing to my cooling rig and system.

Thanks for your thoughts in advance (constructive thoughts only!)
