I've got a real bug to build my own waterblock since i have a cnc at my disposal and use AutoCAD everyday. I have looked at a ton of your home made designs that i've seen posted here in this forum and i'm dying to try this. I was hoping that i could get some comments on this preliminary design:
The top piece is 3/8" clear lexan with 3 holes. 1 in the middle for cold water in, and (obviously) the other for warm out. It's odd shaped compaired to the copper block because i'm planning on drilling a hole in each side out and not over the block to accept UV LED's.
It's a 1/4" thick 2-3/4" x 3" solid copper block. All the cutting is going to be done with a 3/16" bit. The blue channels are going to be 3/32" deep and the red channels are going to be 5/32" deep. Hopefully this will speed the flow through the longer channel and slow down the flow in the shorter channel giving them both equal time to accept heat.
Any comments will be real helpful.
