what do you think about this design??

i dont have a mill, so i figured out this design would be cheap and easy to make.

dagamore · Jan 7, 2003

i dont know about cheap, but it looks like you could make it yourself with just a drill pres :0 and it looks tight hope it worls for you

anyone else getting red x's?

It's prob my schools crappy internet connection

EluSiOn · Jan 7, 2003

i can see the pics

how well should it perform??

the base is 7mm thick, and the bumps aree 2mm deep. so the base is always thicker than 5mm.

nikhsub1 · Jan 7, 2003

Looks very swiftech. I think you may benefit from a thinner base... IF the divits are 2mm deep, you might want to try a 3.5mm or 3mm base.

-J- · Jan 7, 2003

oh, i though this kind of block used thick bases.

BTW, yeah, its very swiftech, thats the idea

The usually do... But it really depends on what you are gonna do with the block, ie., pelt or not, Pentium or AMD etc. Swiftech's new block I think uses a 1/2" base, maybe it's 9mm but anyway it is very thick. For an AMD CPU I would try a thin base like I mentioned and have the inlet right over the core...

sounds pretty good. As nik said, a thinner base would go better.
good luck

I think the center piece is unnecessary, and what about cutting between each dimple to connect them

matt2364 · Jan 7, 2003

I do not know that much about building water blocks, but it would make sense to me to have the water touching more of the block, so that you have more surface area....just a thought?

-J- · Jan 7, 2003

JML, the problem is that i dont have lots of tools.

the idea of working on acrilyc instead of Cu or Brass, is that is way more easy to work with the tools i got (a drill with some accesories)

i started with a design pretty similar to the one u did, but cant make the big hole in the top piece.

PS: im using this on a AXP. i will try it first with the 2mm bumps, then with 3.5mm bumps. and see wich one goes better.

athlonnerd · Jan 7, 2003

nice to see some nice renderings, what prog did you use? if you want a mill setup, you dont have to spend big bux. i have a drillpress, so i bought a milling table, form ebay for 100 bux (including shipping), 20 endmills for 40 bux, and 52 pc clamping kit for 25. yuo dont need the clmaping kit, but makes life easier, a bolt and square nut will substitute well, and you probobly dont need 20 endmills, so you will be able to get a single one for 5 bux or so. so you could have a rudementary setup for about 110 bux. drill presses arent designed for side loads, so you might end up busting the bearings in your press if you do it hard and long enough.

TLKfatman · Jan 7, 2003

one thing u might try is with the tube going from the top carrying the water right to the center of waterblock make it cone shape so its wider at the bace then at the top might work to help heat transfer

-J- · Jan 7, 2003

athlonnerd, i used 3d studio max 4.2 , not exactly meant for this, but well, it works pretty good 4 me.

fatman, wouldnt a bigger tube reduce the flow after the water hits the base ? as far as i know, this kind of setups need really high flow rates.

athlonnerd · Jan 7, 2003

making the tube wider at the base wouldnt have much effect at allteh water will just continue flowing down in the shape it was at the tube enterance.

-J- · Jan 7, 2003

mmm making the acrilyc body 2cm tall instead of 4cm tall will have any performance drop??

because im having some difficulties finding such a thick acrilyc block.

-J- · Jan 8, 2003

well, the new block will be something more like this one, same conecpt, but a little less taller.

althought it really looked nicer when it was taller

athlonnerd · Jan 8, 2003

that'l still work i think, but you might angle the barbs/pipes towards eachother, there will be quite a bit of flow restriction wiht the water having "to do a sharp 180"

Giblet Plus! · Jan 8, 2003

Wouldn't the 180 make lots of turbulence? That's a good thing.

I'd try making a nozzle on the inlet to increase the flow velocity. (did this get said already?)

Would this be any good?
