It appears that a stock alternator case is being used at twice the stock amperage output. Any heat buildup issues ?

Mine came with a very slightly longer case and no heat issues after months in summer desert heat.

I have not had any issues with heat build up. This unit was a little difficult to install since the instructions were very poor. Unit works very well.

I have had no difficulties with this unit in over a year. No heat buildup nothing. I have a fuse that is doubled (main fuse) this was set up before as I had replaced an existing high output altenator.

I would suggest removing it. The motor will run hotter not colder. A larger radiator is suggested also.

I used 14 AWG stranded, because I use it as a constant fan for my truck. I also used a relay with an inline fuse to the battery for power, grounded to a good ground for power and switch ground. I attached the positive of the relay switch to a switch leg and back to a power source that is only on when the key is in the ignition at on position. check your manual or use a multimeter and test fuses that are only on with the key and off when the ignition is off. This protects your battery from drain and your electrical system from a fire. Maybe over kill but I had a vehicular fire under both gasoline and electrical (not proud of it just grateful to be alive). I hope that was of some help.

I would tie the aluminum case housing to ground and make sure that the aluminum case housing has an exhaust hole next to where the fan is located on the power supply at equal or larger diameter.

I would recommend upgrading your alternator. Typically for every 10amps you get 100 watts. This amp will probably not get enough power and may cause damage to the amp or over work your alternator causing it to burn out. I have 2 of these amps in my car with an upgraded 200 amp alternator and a optima drycell battery.

It sounds like the timing is not set right, probably too big of gap. Check the gap with a business card, it should be just that big of space. If that is correct, the the coil is getting hot and no longer functions like it should!

I would suggest a 4 guage wiring kit with a 80 amp fuse or higher. I use 4 guage without any heat issues.

Swapping the fans out isnt a problem.. The problem for me came in making sure you have enough wire to properly reach.. I bought special fans for the front of mine and ended up not using them just because the stock fans were built for the case... Havent had any over heating issues and im running 2 980's

I would say no,,it says "*Safe for Alternator Outputs up to 120 Amps". My van is a 100 amp alt.

With NO Problem! Excellent results as long as you remember to PULL cool air from outside the case in through the radiator you'll love the end results. I saw some posts where the person stated he got better results pulling the hot air out of his case through the radiator!? You must remember that your goal when using this kind of cooling system is to keep the liquid as cool as possible not the processor. The processor will stay cool as a result of you keeping the liquid cool. This is exactly the way a radiator works in an automobile. The reason why you don't see automobiles pushing hot air through the radiator from inside the engine compartment is because the coolant will never get any cooler than the temperature of the engine compartment at best. Just as a car's cooling system pulls air from outside the vehicle and through the radiator, for the H 50, H 70, or any other closed loop cooling system to work you must do the same. I'm positive it will fit in your case because I was able to fit in my stock HP case. The 1200 is considerably bigger than my case.

I would just to be sure. I bought one for my son to ensure that the amp and sub would not kill the alternator and battery. To this far he has nothad any issues . More of a insurance purchase.

I suspect that it's best to replace the alternator cable. After having replaced the box and thoroughly cleaning the cable end, I found the input terminal continuing to overheat. This resulted in slight melting of plastic under the terminal and an intermittent open causing the idiot light to come on. I would recommend saving yourself the headache by replacing the cable (or at least the connector) when you install the box.

No problem it pulls six amps when it is cooling at max and 1.8 5 after temperature is reached hope this helps have a great day mark

The cooling pump already has the Termal compound on it. Use that. If you apply any extra it may cause create a *bubble* increasing heat temperature and cause overheating. Make sure to clean the cpu from the old termal compound. Hope this helps.

I'd say it's more low/high heat. The whirring of the fan and engine motor didn't seem to register any differently. Though, I'd invest a bit more cash in a different brand/model.

honestly, I didn't pay a whole lot of attention. I know it was identical to the radiator I pulled out as far as dimensions go. just know that the pt is a big pain in the ass for bleeding out the cooling system!!! I drove it around for a week and had no problems then hit the interstate drove 130 miles and it overheated!!! so keep that in mind if u have over heating problems!!!

Just remember not to exceed the 10a limit, I really don't recommend running it at 10a if you dont have to, and if you do, try to get more cooling. Make sure the plus and minus are the correct polarity, and (not neccessary, but recomended) put a little voltage moniter on the output, to make sure that it is not going above 19.5v
