So I currently have an external radiator setup, but I've been wanting to put it outside my window and make like a small radiator box or something for it, but I'm not sure if my MCP35X can handle the extra water & tubing?


Has anyone done anything like this?


Right now I have 1x 1080mm radiator, 1 CPU block, 1 GPU block, an MCP35X pump, and some fairly long tubing runs that go from the PC to the radiator & pump/reservoir combo.

I use my MCP35X at like 30% PWM signal, and I have plenty of flow through the whole loop, so I figure I have lots of headroom, but I'm not sure if I have enough to add another like ~15-20 feet of tubing to the loop.

What I want to do is make like a radiator box and put it outside the window. I figured I could put a hole in the bottom for the radiator to sit on so that the exhaust from the radiator goes out of the box and outside. Then perhaps I could put a hole on the side of the box, for cold air to come into it.



Here's a picture of my room, and where my window is:

Here's a rough paint drawing of what I was thinking



Both tubes that go from the PC / Reservoir to the radiator would be roughly 9 feet long EACH
