It looks like the cooler attaches directly onto the radiator... will those ties cause damage to the radiator over time?

It won't because it's between the fins of the radiator. In some vehicles that have a transmission cooler already, you are able to use the same braket. (I did in my truck).

Yes, you do, unless your case has a hole or an aperture right behind the mother board's rear socket plate. You have to remove the rear socket plate to put a new one -included- in which the Thermaltake Cooler is going to be anchored

You really do. I had plenty of hose to run the CPU to the cooling unit within a full sized case. If I had to guess I have about a 1 foot of tube remaining after the install (including my mess-up which I will describe later). Just remember not to have the hoses any longer than they have to be or else they will bend. I thought it looked awesome to have it in a loop, but it quickly turned to dismay when the loop kinked and I had to throw away a full installation worth of hose.

hello Marvin. No, the connector is only for automotive cooling, connections are different

The cooler has a hard plastic liner. If the cooler tips, then likely yes it would leak a bit

This cooler also mounts with screws, but you will need to remove the mount for your current heatsink and put the mount for this in it's place. Also make sure your case has room to fit the heatsink

You should be able to make it work. The fan comes with the installation kit so don't bother buying that separate. It's basically a series of zip ties so with those, you should be able to fasten it to the radiator. Good luck with it!

No. The heatsink comes ready to use as it is. Locking system will do the rest.

Actually the aluminum of the cooler that you have to attach to the card is at back side of it.An you lost 1 slot previous a your video card slot, by other hand please note that you video card have a lot surface in contact to the actual cooler at the front of the card you will lost all that contact for it. In my case I'm running world of warcraft at maximums resolution and my card are 127.40º F and before the cooler was 154.40º

Thankfully the thermal compound is not pre applied on the heatsink. It comes in a little plastic sleeve, seperatly. I would definitely apply the artic silver 5 compound instead of what comes with the heatsink. By the way this closed loop cooler is AWESOME. Lemme know if you have any other questions about it.

I made my own brackets that is mounted on the radiator support frame. I also made some custom hard lines for the cooler for my 1997 4Runner. It works great!!

The themal paste on that is fresh on a new cooler should be fine . If you reuse the cooler, use new thermal paste.

This is marine adhesive and expensive. It is overkill on the cooler when good silicone will do that job. You could buy a new cooler almost for what a tube of this costs.

Sorry, I can't help. I bought these coolers as gifts for two of my brothers. Coleman has an 800 number that should be able to answer your question.BM

You could try a test patch in an easy place to remove if it doesn't work. I haven't used it on a radiator hose where it would get hot.

The Radiator has a aluminum core with plastic tanks. I installed in my jeep 6 months ago without any problems. I also added a fan shroud. I seems OK, I was a little disappointed in the plastic tanks. I cant complain about it, its doing its job. I hope this helps.Adam

Depends on what you call minor. The idea of the radiator (coil) is to pass air through to cool the unit. As long as the majority of the coil is unrestricted (not dented) you should be good.
