It would depend on how much of a temperature drop you are seeking. It would not drop as much as a traditional tube and fin radiator. It would be something I would choose if I did not need the maximum amount of cooling in the smallest package available.

We do carry frame rail coolers in a similar size and shape that are traditional tube and fin style that will cool more than the heat sink style. Part # D13225 is a 24-3/4 inch long fluid cooler that will provide more cooling than the heat sink style.

I would recommend the heat sink style in situations where less cooling is needed or where durability may be an issue. It would be my choice for power steering or differential cooling in off-road vehicles.
