clicking on the link will not work because it is a restriction of geocities... kindly copy paste it then.. thanks :-)

the size is about 5 inches by 10 inches or 11 inches.... and they said can be used for watercooling.. and its only cheap.. about $20... the radiator also comes with 1/2 fittings just like the Cathar Casacade block :-)

what do you think guys??? im planing to use an EHEIM 1250 Pump and a Cathar cascade h20 block :-)

please post all your comments and suggestions about the radiator and its design .. thanks so much for everything :-)

i dont see a reason why it shouldnt work. just be sure to test it for leaks and whatnot before buying.

If you are worried about price, I dont think a Cascade is for you

The radiator is a nice one, I'd say it will do a swell job cooling.

thanks guys! :-)

hmmmmm im planning of buying a heater core......

but i have this question in mind.....

Is the "Bigger the Better conotation applicable to a heater core???? cause i will be having an External Pump + Reservoir + Radiator setup ( all of them outside the case of my PC )

assuming that i have converted the heater core to 1/2 tubings/fittings... is it "The Bigger the Better" for Heatercores????? thanks guys!

Yes, but you'll get into dimishing returns. Anything over about 12"x8" won't really give any improvement.

killernoodle · 02-05-2004, 07:17 PM

^ what he said. You can always go bigger and better, but in the end, you will never get that last 1C without some kind of "special" cooling. There is a point where overkill no longer overkills but actually makes the system impractical. That is about where a double size heatercore is. Anything bigger and you will not see it do better. Same thing for pumps, only after a point they dump more heat into the system than is removed by faster flow.

It's all about finding the most practical and best performing mix.

In English If you can buy a BIX it's better.
Am I right guys? :shrug:

BryanFer · 02-06-2004, 04:04 PM

pareng i813 wala na kasi dito sa Xmodz :-(
in english: our local computer enthusiast/specialist shop no longer carries BIX in their product lineup :-(

j813 · 02-08-2004, 05:22 AM
