like the titles says, what are the pros and cons for half-rads like some hondas have?

im about to change mine soon so i started thinking about this.
i have a 7a and no turbo/supercharger. so will i really benefit from this?

Clogged?? How do you know that. If so there's many products under $10 that can fix it. Most likely you can just flush it.

my car over heats randomly, dealership said its the headgasket (i personally dont think so b/c 1.im not looking coolant very quickly, and 2. the car drives normal, no smoke or anything.)
but the shop that warrantied the car, said its the radiator is clogged, asked me if i put any stop leaks but i didnt. they flushed it twice, according to them, still clogged and not enough pressure (not under warranty) and were charging me 500, its not a hard job so i decided to do it myself.

read my thread see if u think it might be something else?
it basically overheats untill i turn the heater fan on, then it stays normal. and the relay is fine, it does switch on on its own, but the heater fan cools it down to normal temp.
