Good Radiator?

t00lb0x · 08-23-2003, 02:39 AM

For my upcoming watercooling project, I need two big radiators that preform well. I was looking at these.
But if you guys think that is a bad radiator and would recommend another one say it please. I would normally get a car heatercore, but that requires soldering on new barbs and I cannot do that. Thanks in advance.

Getting a heatercore does not mean you have to solder on barbs. You can fit 1/2" hose over Heatercores that have 5/8" inlet's and outlet's. You may need to cut the original inlet and outlet to the length you want.

So what heatercore would you recommend? Also how would I cut the inlet/outlet do the lenght I want? Kinda lost :shrug:

The easiest way to find a heater core is to go to autozone/pepboys/etc and ask for there heatercore catalog. The catalogs list dimensions, barb sizes, and materials. Simply find the one that fits your requirment.
