I want to build a homemade water cooling system.
I'm thinking about something like a custom 360mm radiator but built in home.
What you recommend?

Do you have details on how you are planning to do this? I've looked into building and customizing radiator cores, but by the time you consider costs for doing so, you end up paying much more than just buying a normal watercooling radiator. Even heater cores are priced in the range of lower priced radiators, plus with heater cores, you still have to braze or solder on fittings for use.

But, being one that has gone the heater core route before (1986 Chevette heater core; still have it), I'm always interested in DIY watercooling. Keep us updated on your work.
 


That's a high skill level to create and assemble something like that and it would be better if it was in operation to see what his cooling results were.

Though I have had plenty of ideas myself and the skill level to duplicate that setup, IDK about it's performance validity to justify undertaking something that complicated.

Are you seriously considering something like that?
