I am not necessarily going to be over clocking and maybe water cooling isn't necessary for me if I plan to run my rig stock but even at stock temperatures are important.
I am in the middle of a build and it is mainly to play games like Battlefield 3 and who knows what else I may do but also computers have become somewhat of a newer interest to me as far as building my own goes anyways. I have the mechanical prowess and the time to tinker so I thought why not give it a shot.
The reason for my post was to see if the heat exchangers I have at my disposal would work for water cooling a PC. I own a business and sell heat exchangers that we sell to the industrial manufacturing market and I have an abundance of all different shapes and sizes at my disposal and wanted to get the pro's opinion on if the 2 specifically that I have in mind are close to what the industry is already using.
I stock a line of heat exchanges an other components that I really would not have to purchase anything to do the build on the water cooled system. I have the Heat Exchangers tons of fittings from push lock whatever fittings I need I have. I have the tubing in all different sizes and colors and even the pump if I needed it but again I am focusing on the heat exchanger and the manufacturer of the line I stock and represent is OILAIR or now Parker Olaer and one that I have in mind is this one which I believe is below

I know these being titanium wouldn't be very economical for the every day PC builder to use but I have 40 on them at any given time and have seen similar on build sites so I don't see why this wouldn't work but then again I am a Noob looking for some professional opinions.
The other heat exchangers that is more the fin type radiator look is this below

And here again I am thinking of the smaller core to use but would like some input
I know there are other components that are necessary and I probably have them like flow meters I have all sorts, we machine out own manifolds but again those are mostly used in the hydraulic or pneumatic sector.
But I do not see why they could not be used in this application because they are usually aluminum or titanium and with the proper water and treatment of there should not be a problem crossing over into the PC sector.
So for anyone who is a water cooling enthusiast please chime in and let me know your thoughts please. I am a few weeks from even laying a part on the bench to even think about building one and if I am not over clocking then it may be a total waste but heat is the enemy to just about anything in the computer world just like it is in the business I am in.
Maybe with a little help and thoughts from you guys about these particular items that I am thinking about using in a build I can get across the goal line and possibly be able to hook someone up with some of the product I have for helping me if you think what I have would work.
I need to do some more reading within the stocky in this thread it looks like some good information from what I read so far but when I started delving and looking online I started noticing many similar looking items that I have a ton of that is being used in water cooled PC builds.
I have not really been able to see what the cost of a "High End" water cooling system goes for so if anyone has any direction on linking me to the ultimate water cooling system out there please by all means do so. In the end it may just be more cost efficient to buy one for that matter but I am a DIY type of dude so...
Many thanks in advanced and I hope to see some feedback from the local TH's water cooling enthusiasts with some thoughts of the products I linked and possibly what the cost of the highest end cooling system goes for that way I will get an idea of whether something that costs me $x amount of money and time becomes a no brainer to purchase.
Thanks again and kind regards
