Posted February 11 · Original PosterOP If I get a 280-360 radiator and attach it to my liquid Vega 64? I'm thinking about cutting the tubes on my LC Vega and screwing two barbs into the rad and using hose clamps or something to tighten the hoses to the barbs.. Will this work? Do I need a reservoir or anything else? What temp decrease am I likely to see? Is this only worth doing with a custom loop?

Posted February 11 Can't you just use an AIO bracket? (not sure if G12 works but that could be an option). Or maybe you can take off the stock AIO's mounting hardware and try fit it into a new larger cooler. Like, anything but sawing off the tubes and try make them fit. they will LEAK, no matter how good you're at it it's just a matter of time.

Posted February 11 If your going that far why not go full custom loop it ?You can get a better rad a better more coverage water block and a lot more cooling out it. Link to post Share on other sites
