Try it and see, thats what this guy did...Radiator Stacking

that got me thinking. the 1 120x 38mm fan i have for a shroud, just cut it in half and put it on the ends of the rads, and like your pic put the air facing out on both.

I think this might be interesting for you to try ...
BUt why do you want to attach 1/2 a shroud at the end of the rad?
I think the posters offered plan was to to have 2 120mm fans one at each end blowing inwards and exhausting out of each side through the rads.
Where does 1/2 a shroud come into it ?

to hold it apart, without directing air flow to much.

like so

It would probalby give you PA120.3 like performance, but that's only something like a 10% gain vs doubling the performance if you had cold air going into each.

I've been measuring air out performance on my radiator testing and you can see that about 60-70% of the air performance is used up.



There's just not much left in the air especially with low speed fans.

I'd go for this idea if you can make it work, even if you cant fit the fans like shown, maybe just fans in pull with some sort of duct to feed cold air in the middle.

Lol, my little quick sketch seems to be a hit.

i dont have the space to put in a vent system, no where to vent from., also no space to put fans blowing up/down into the rads.

its all going internal inside a stacker 810

I couldn't see how you'd have room inside an 810 to manage a double rad setup. I'd be really curious to see the results though. GL.

woh there. who said anything about double rad? this is a triple rad setup, triple triple if you will.(3x mcr320's)

and dont worry, i will post some nice pics next weekend when it gets done

If you do stack them, just make sure you have plenty of fan power like push/pull or three layers worth, you'll need the pressure to make use of all that density.
