hello all,

question, i have a 80mm heatercore aluminum rad thingy
3/8 OD tubing, and a stock waterblock

is it worth it, temp wise and performance wise.

to get a DD TDX block, and upgrade tubin to 1/2OD?

will it make that much of a difference, given that i am not changing my pump?

TDX needs high flow rates to perform, and I doubt that cheaply little pump from that kit has the guts to do it.

why you gotta do that too me yiffy, why!!!!!!!!

That's not to say it wouldn't work... but I doubt you'd see anything spectacular from it.

lol, i agree with yiffy...not only do you need a better radiator, but a better pump, a better block, and a better tube...

so its not worth it in any way

 

[TheCoolGuy]

well, the pump is not exceptional by any means,

but it does push about 160gallons/hr, so not thattt smalll,

not 300, but not like 50, so come on!!!!

well, my tubing is short, and i would upgrade to 1/2 od tubing

still, is this pretty much a don't do it situation?

It's pretty much a you should've bought what we told you in the first place kinda thing
