New radiator source

man, its such a shame thats not copper/brass... that would be a frigging sweet rad. the fin spacing is perfect for medium speed fans. you could maybe even use low speed but it might be a bit to thick.

not sure how the pump will deal with the rad but if it has trouble i would switch those 90" elbow for some straight barbs if you can.

the pump i have has a max head of 10 feet at 2200 lph, so i'm sure it will be ok, the thing holds just over a quart of water, talk about cooling!! haha, I know I really wish it was copper, it would be so much simpler. I'm almost thinking of running a light oil in the system, which would keep corrosion at bay. I'm going to assemble the kit today, to begin testing. I need to build a res. now haha! I would replace the 90's with straight through, the only issue is that in the computer case, i'll be confined so 90's will be used anyway, however i might bump up to 1/2 fittings for the rad!

well since the pump does 10' head and 2200lph you will be plenty fine. hell its 1000lph better then mine... what pump is it?

[rithunder916]

it's made by pentair i believe, quietone model 2200.


oh for the fans..I have a portable blower fan i picked up in the summer to move air around my room, I don't know what cfm it is, but it's got to be at least 300 cfm, i'll have that positioned to blow air through the rad.

lol, this thing is gonna rock! 300cfm is overkill but it will be fun to see. you could get away with 50cfm i would say.

True, and I probably will go with 4 120mm fans, I'll take a pic tomorrow, but they fit perfectly on the front! like it was made for it. I want to see what this thing can do! So i'll be stopping by the store to pick up a few supplies, some hose clamps, anti-freeze, silicone, and teflon! then I'll measure how much liquid this thing holds, and make up my mixture! i was thinking 50/50, but i might shoot for 30/70.

What a great place. Maybe I'll try cooling with milk next....hahah j/k

Ammonia, 238oF me thinks... 1 and half times better then water.

and deadly!

[rithunder916]

HAHA, put a danger sign on the case! Use computer at your own risk HAHA that could be fun. Anyway I'm going to try to get this thing started this weekend.
