radiator placement

daven1986 · 9 May 2006 at 13:14

Hi, I want to mount my 120.2 radiator on the back of my case, however the only way i can mount it is so some is in-line with my psu exhaust fan, the air that comes out is warmish - would this have a really bad effect on my cooling?

If so i'll mount it on the top of my case.

thanks

right in that case it is going on the top!

thanks

the air is 4 degrees hotter coming out of the psu.

also do you have any idea what the capacity of a 120.2 radiator is?

thanks

capacity as in litres!

lol thanks - should have enough coolant then

I am going to use some DangerDen mct-5 coolant, if there isn't enough can I top it up with distilled water?

i suppose, but i'd only be topping it up with VERY little distilled water, as i should have enough mct-5.

also do i have to clean my radiator before use? it is an xspc 120.2 V

thanks

ok thanks. as i read on xtreme systems how you should run water through it many times, then soak it in vinegar etc.

don't get me wrong i don't want to be lazy (well i do) but this seems like a lot of hassle!

I'll do as you suggested then

thanks
