I've turned that cold plate into a water block. This is my first one, so it's been kind of hard without a mill or drill press. What do you guys think?

It looks good for a first timer, if you have a rotary tool i would smooth out the channels so the water flows better. But keep up the good work and if you have installed it..lets see some temps. Also where are your water input and output going to be?

Looks to me like all the water will go through the middle channel. Might want to change that, If I'm looking at it right.

Wow, no one said it was the ugliest POS they've ever seen, yet.

I wanted to try and put the inlet in the middle, and out towards the ends of one of the channels.

looks a lot like my first blocks. look at what Im making now

It does look pretty good though, If you have a dremel, get one of those carbide cutters and smooth it out, I bet you can get it looking quite a bit nicer.

-edit- what did that cold plate come off of?

A large drill, huge drill bits, dremel tool, and various other grinder tips. Not to mention wd40 to lubricate while I was grinding.
