Here is my rig which I finally completed after much reading, thought, and careful construction.
She sports a Athlon XP 2400+ not oc'd at all yet.
Clocking at 2010 Mhz.
This is a music composition system so at this point I'm not really greatly into ocing it. I will test when I have time, but for now it runs beautifully with my audio software.
I'm a little skeptic right now about the cpu temp I'm getting.
17 degrees C at idle. Its a gigabyte GA-7VAX and I'm not sure about how accurate the sensor is. when I get a hold of a thermometer I will check it out.
Sytem temp is 30C.
My CPU block is a thermalright SK-6+ heatsink, with aluminum plate covering up the exterior. used 5/8 copper tubing(1/2" ID) on all fittings, and used 1/2 ID vinyl tubing with wire wraps to prevent kinking. For the inlet I flattened off one end of a copper tube into a nozzle which fit down in between the fins, close over the core. I drilled down a bit and roughened it up over the core. I blocked off the "open" part with a piece of thin plastic "gooped" into place. This forces the water to run only through the fins. A space in the top allows water to collect and then an outlet was placed on the very top. I believe it works very well, and I wonder if anyone else has attempted a similar idea. I used JB weld a plenty for fusing this block together.
