Besides, according to BillA's revised numbers, the Serck isn't that far off from a heatercore.

U mean the numbers from overclockers.com:s radiator roundup? Anyhow. The serck will definately get the gph higher. And if I recall correctly it doesnt perform worse with higher flow?
Edit: I've seen what u mean now. The serck and big momma(heater core) perform on par @ low flow. So a bypass as i think u proposed should do the trick. Anyhow. I want a serck as i think u would put less stress on the pump and that gives u less vibrations. I know u can isolate the vibrations but i dont wanna put pressure on my pump as i find that more comforting.
Edit2: Come to think of it I find it hard to believe that a bypass would give u better temps but im surerly wrong
Edit3: Just came to think of it, the serck is made out of aluminium.... A standard heatercore is often made of copper/brass. I find it entriguing that it beats a copper/brass radiator with almost the same design (surplus from BillA:s round up). It would be fun to see the difference between a copper/brass lets say black ice extreme(if it indeed is made out of copper/brass)? And one made out of aluminum.
Edit4: just saw that the surplus radiator had about 50% less opening area..... Anyhow... still think the copper/brass vs aluminum comparison would be fun to see
Edit5: Since i live in sweden i think it would be kinda hard for me to find a serck. For the moment i have a chevette heatercore bought from
www.dtekcustoms.com and i think i will stick with it for a while since i am running without a peltier and want my case to be portable(to a certain degree
)
