Mounting radiator horizontally?
I see a lot of ic getting mounted horizontally, how about a radiator? I could mount it horizontally along the hood line and vent the hood (cut out the exact rad dimension) ?
That should help bring my temps down? Is it a dumb idea? |
Air is a fluid and just like water, flows most efficiently in a straight line.
Ideally, you want your heat exchanger to directly face the airflow, your proposed horizontal rad would force the incoming air to make a 90° turn before hitting the core. The horizontal layout is also not very space efficient given the constraints of the FC bay. |
Thanks.
