Soulsend's rads

cougem · 05-07-2004, 02:28 AM

Urg, after getting a quote for Souldsend's MHQ rads, it struck me how big they really are.

If the shroud is 6x6x2, and the rads 7x6x2, if that's EXACT (if anyone can check this metricly) that means it's 6inches wide, corresponding to just over 15cm. That's even wider than my CD drive bay.

My case is around 18+cm wide, BUT the motherboard tray means I can't utilise all that, and now I can't fit it in the CD drive bays. I could put it sideways, and the 4icnh (I think?) height would fit the CD drive's 5.75" bays, BUT at 6 inch width, and only 2 CD drive bays free, it would overlap into the floppy + hard drive area, but floppy drives SEEM to be just under that, arg!

So, does anyone know where I can get some other excellent heater cores that are maybe a bit smaller? Maybe ones that fit a 120mm fans but dont have such a slanting shroud, so it comes to 5.75" or less.

Or maybe ones that fit 92mm fans?

Well, if you want a smaller pre-modded heater core there's the d-tek jr-120.
I've never seen one, other than on a web page. Their (now discontinued?) 6x6 cores were good.
Then there's the made-for-pc-cooling radiators, BlackIce and ?thermalchill? (may have the latter name wrong).
I've used a number of BlackIce radiators with good luck (used black ice pro because I was cooling for silence not overclock and was looking for minimal air pressure required for OK cooling)...
