if there was no mixed metals then you can run plain supermarket distilled water and 2 drops of pt nuke for the best results. its what i'm using currently.

Ok, i'll have to keep that in mind, and i take it they don't make aluminum water blocks. Worse case this thing just goes back onto the shelf for some other project!

ya some crappy companies do. koolance, Zalman, are ones that i can think off off hand that do.
I thought the koolance and zalman blocks weren't so bad. I will have to look into them. I know copper is the better cooler, but maybe an aluminum block heatsink would be a good idea to use with this radiator, and I bet i could find on cheaply....

thermaltake is the worst but zalman and koolance love aluminum.
there stuff can be had for cheap so it should work out.
Awesome! that's what i thought! I'll have to look to see what I can do!
MIke
i meant to say i am talking about there older/used stuff the newer stuff from koolance is overpriced alot.
Yea i've been noticing that stuff, I'll look around on freebay to see what I can find for used stuff, since this is just a test! I have a test bed, p4 3.2, 512mb ram, etc. I'll hunt around, and work something out!

A lot of good info Spawn. Very interesting read. Rithunder, be sure and keep us updated! Hell, even if it doesn't work it will surely be a fun experiment! Maybe a work log?
Also, welcome to TBCS. Some pretty cool people here.
Thanks! I'll be sure to post up my findings, I really hope it does, because these cores are rather cheap, and for their size, are huge for computer cooling! If it does, expect a case mod to fit this thing :)
