SpamzOr,

Polish a brass core with brasso or other metal polish and seal and they'd lood alright.

Nitrox,

How & where in case would you set up 2-617 so as to avoid the use of 90's with it?

I'd mount the 2-342 rad on the case floor of a wide case. With the pump back under the drive bays and the rad extending out in front of the motherboard slightly. This would offer reduced head loss by being single pass and shortening lines.

Leaves the question of just how much differance the above advantages would make in frow rates.

Since87,

I'll help with that testing gladly. But would we not need to also provide a 2-199 for a equal sized core of the "standard type" for a proper comparison? A very good idea if BillA would be interested.

And would this not help even with a high head loss waterblock, (White Water, remember BillA's suggestion to match the White Water with a system otherwise set up for minimal head loss?)? At least then you'd be dropping head where it would do more for temps, although a high flow block would perhaps gain more.

A interesting thread.
