Cathar,

I note that Copyman said he would be sending you a rad to test.

What will your testing set up & methods be?

Copyman,

Thank you for providing some hard info, and I'm glad to see that the rad is smaller than I thought it might be.

I'm afraid I didn't understand which of the fans you've spec'd were used when you obtained the results you posted early in this thread. Could you please restate that info?

Did you do testing on the ideal distance for the shrouds stand off from the fins? What stand off distance did you decide on?

Are the flat tubes you used in your rad dimpled on the sides to increase turbulence in the tubes, or did you find the smooth walled ones to be better performers due to higher flow rates?

A interesting thread & rad.
