As you can see, this is a small 4 pass radiator with an 80mm ball bearing fan
attached. Its size is both good and bad. Good in the way that it takes up less
room, but I worry how well it will cope with high heat loads.
Here, you can see it dismantled. Notice the copper is bent rather
than using join pieces. This makes the chance of a leak minimal.
The manual recommends one of two ways to fit this system, the
"quick" way or the "professional" way. The quick way, is
to fit the cooler straight out of the box with the radiator kept internal. This
doesn't give you the advantage of using fresh air to cool the radiator but takes
hardly any time at all! The professional way is to thread the tubing through
a PCI slot and rebleed it.
We decided to try the quick way first just to test the system
works. We didn't want to commit to all this work if it was faulty.
