The estimates of performance would be helped a good deal if Copyman could post the L x W x H demensions of his rads finned area.

By the crude means of just measureing the shourd (on screen)and comparing those measurements to the known size of the fans I'd have to guess his rad is at minimum 13" x 6.5" x 1.75" for just the finned area, and perhaps as much as 15" x 7" x 2.2" for a maximum. I may be wrong, but I think the rad is larger than Cathar's estimates.

The CFM of the fans used would be a second very helpfull stat. 120mm fans are on the market with CFM's of from 53 CFM up to 152 CFM.

Along with a quad fan set up and good shrouds (Copyman's shroud's look flawless), a rad somewhere within the above size range should have little problem dissipating all the heat from just about any non TEC system, even if medium noise level fans were used such as fans giveing 80-90CFM.

There are so many variables here.

Copyman, how about some hard data on the rads size and the specs of the 4 fans used?
