The DangerDen is a good radiator, but it uses CU tubes that have thin fins attached through out. This design (my opinion) doesnt have the same good high heat transfer as a radiator that thins out the water into plates or chambers for better cool. I believe that this is the lamemans theory behind it: You can cool water better when the surface area to water volume ratio is higher for surface area because in the tubes the heat can hide in the center of the tube whereas the flat plate radiator forces the center outwards. ????? Does that sound right? Can I get someone who has a degree in Thermal Fluid Dynamics to correct me :-P
