liquid cooling radiators
liquid cooling radiators
Reflecting on that, you might be right. The green corrosion I remember was often seen around soldered joints and from a plumber who didn’t clean off excess flux or copper in a saltwater environment at the beach. I have a trick that could help with this issue—something I used to boost property sales. When I updated feeds for sinks, whether kitchen or bath, after finishing, I would wipe the copper with #0000 steel wool to give it a polished finish, then spray it with polyurethane. It maintained its shine for years, though realtors noted it, buyers admired the shiny copper, and customers loved opening those cabins. It’s a bit like the 1970s when chrome was popular on cars.
while discussing this topic, I realize i'm a bit behind in learning liquid cooling. I've seen many cases with rubber grommet openings on the back, especially at the top, and for radiator tubing lines, but i haven't noticed anyone mounting a radiator outside their case online. Was it common practice to install radiators outside before?
At first, there weren't many internal spots for attaching radiators—those 2x120mm fan slots are only a recent addition. Most people preferred mounting radiators on top or behind the case. Yes, they're somewhat outdated, but they can still be useful if someone needs to add an extra radiator somewhere.
I actually considered installing the radiator on the back, but I decided against it – though it would free up space in the area.
Cases can become quite full, but you can check my mITX build log in my signature and the 32-core 2990WX Threadripper cooling build I constructed. Initially, you might think there’s enough space, only to realize it disappears fast.
The TT 20VT is a great case. I purchased it for personal projects, and the Corsair 250D will be using it at 20VT shortly.
