Best Radiator for High Heat Output

Anomaly2181 · 07-30-2002, 01:40 AM

I plan on running a 220 watt pelt in conjunction with a wb on an overclocked XP chip, northbridge, and GPU....I had my eye on the BIX, but I'm not sure its the best.....I'm not necessarily after a 120mm radiator, so post anything that is just as good or better...specs and comparisons are good : )

your best bet is a heater core the BIX is great for tight cases but a heater core has the best heat disspation

Anomaly2181 · 07-30-2002, 02:29 AM

like a heater core for a car? got any links?

gmat · 07-30-2002, 02:34 AM

A local scrapyard will be the best option.
Yes the BIX is totally overpriced for what it's able to do.
Try to find either a good heatercore, or a race / sports car radiator.
In the event you dont find anything, D-Tek carry a good heater core.

Or go to napa, carquest, o rileys, autozone... etc and ask for a chevette heatercore.

I believe they are around $25

Or look here, they have the 89 Camaro copper heater core with barbs for $29, I recommend the shroud too. http://dtekcustoms.safeshopper.com/19/cat19.htm?701

the ford econoline van HC is very big, and has two 5/8" barbs... requires no modification. ...will fit in front of Inwin Q500, but leaves little room for anything else...

The "Big Momma" won the test on www.overclockers.com, and AFAIK DangerDen are selling it... Massive area, and huge internal volume. Just the right mix for some good watercooling

As I remember, the big momma IS a Chevette HEater Core.

Well, I'm trying one of those "cooling tower" devices like I first saw over at the Hardforums. I've made a few modifications to mine for better transfer. Here's a pic:

That's my case over to the left a bit, the round top building you see is the waterblock.

(hehe)

hehe yah comlink, hopefully setup will be a bit more contained

cool thanks guys, now my next goal is to find a 30 amp power supply that is small enough to mount in a case for 2 peltiers hehe.... i'm talking to some guy on ebay that is selling a 24 volt 26 amp 23 continuous device, he is getting back to me on measuments...cross your fingers, hope it fits in my case
