BIX Vs. Heatercore

raist679 · 01-25-2004, 12:22 PM

I currently have a BIX running in my system. My question is wether or not a similar sized heatercore or dtek procore w/shroud would be any better? I'm going to get a new block, change tubing, coolant, etc.. I was wondering if a change would help much. I'm running the swifty mcp600, RBX on order, BIX, and Bay res. Thanks.

Just if you have enough room try to get a cheaper dual radiator, beats any single no matter how good the quality is.

I don't really have room to get a larger dual rad. I would like to keep everything contained in the case, as space is a premium where I am. The temps are ok and the OC is good with the BIX. Since I was tearing it apart anyway I was just wondering if the change would improve things at all.

Heatercore > Any "specialised" rad i have ever used. and much cheaper in most cases too.

The heater core has a better flow. Also the heat disapation is better.
So, cheaper, better, but a bit bigger..
