I'll bet you'ld be the first to try.

Brad · 01-14-2002, 04:35 PM

I'd say one normal black ice will do just fine

TNT2bluz · 01-15-2002, 09:37 AM

An eheim 1048 should do fine.

if you are going to run both radiators then the answer will be yes. but if your running only one ... and also a cpu/gpu/whatever under each of them i would hve to say nay... but with both of them i think that they would be able to handle the heat.

remember the original black ice is rated to handle 421w of heat, and the BIX is rated at 919w.

I'd have the BIX cooling the cpu loop, and have the other rad doing the rest. seems logical to me.

i dont like the flow restriction on the normal black ice

tho im going to sell it and get another black ice extreme! or mod it to 1/2

Brad · 01-15-2002, 07:17 PM

thats seriously expensive, why not buy a normal heatercore?

this ones pretty close to blackice size:

can be had for around $60 (cheaper at a junk yard. i am pretty sure a lot of junk yard has some toyota trucks laying around), and i bet cools better than BIX!

yeah, there are a lot of junkyards around with heater cores going for only a couple of dollars

5.125x5.25x2? That's an awfully nice size...

/me kicks self for not scavenging heatercores off my Toyota before throwing it away...

if you realy had some old ass toyota trucks that is funny, because who would have ever thought they had something quite desirable in them when you threw them away.

Brad · 01-17-2002, 02:54 PM

you can probably just drive along into car wreckers, and get them for almost free.

Or maybe just steal one from a wrecked car on the side of the road

Jolinator · 01-17-2002, 08:13 PM

i got the second one ill post pix sometime also getting heatercors in Oz is gay

Brad · 01-17-2002, 08:20 PM

thats surprising, it's very easy in NZ, any radiator place, car wreckers, whatever always have heatercores
