don't say then MOST people use commercial watercooling radiators

the real watercoolers use heatercores while "beginners" use a commercial radiator because it's easier

I wouldn't go that far, some people just don't have the time (nor skills in my case) to turn a car into a pc-cooling device...

there's not difference in hooking up a heatercore or a commercial WC radiator. you can't buy heatercores in Internet shops, and they're in a lot of different sizes

yes it does

most people don't visit [M] or XS forums

you started a vote in HW enthousiast forums, no wonder there were votes on the "car radiator" options

Tractor rad

3-4 x 120mm

today it's hard to find a full Cu heatercore, they are large and not as easly to install like a commercial,

15th March 2004, 23:06

heatercores are usually with Copper tubing and Aluminium fins. best choice overall

16th March 2004, 11:44

from old cars yes ( manta, etc ), but the newer cars have alu tubing ( with plastic at the end ) and alu fins
