We rigged up a small fan to the rad. It honestly doesn't even get warm.

Here's a photo. Yes, there is cardboard on there to help the fan's air move across the rad. Believe it or not this little fan does the trick quite well, and pushes as much air as some of my nicer 80mms.



As far as flow of water in the tubes, it moves faster than you could move your finger across your keyboard. The water moves so quickly you can feel it by holding the tubes!

That is one nice find. Getting distilled water and a good coolant mix will help out greatly.

The RAD and water block seem to be both aluminum. That can be a plus to run 85% distilled and 15% propylene glycol mixture for the best control of temps.

What type of pump did you get to make this system working again?

I believe it had a pump, he probably thought it was dead but it wasn't.

The pump was fine. The fans it came with and the faceplate however were fried.

My brother is bringing distilled water and coolant over in the morning.
