I ve been trying to think of a good block to make myself and be effective at cooling.
I want to use a 3/4" inlet just because my pump has that as an output. I figured what the hey lets see how it works.
So anyway i have almost none of the necessary tools to cut metal properly. I can get the soldering torch and what not but that leaves alot to be in need of.
I need to come up with something easy and affordable on top of the above criteria of being effective. I thought about buying one of those plates from a cooling comany but they are all like 2x2.
Also I want to have something more to the base then just a flat piece of metal. I want to have some turbulance in thje chamber.
There again though I dont have tools to do it. I could drill some dimples but that is not the bestway from what Ive see.
My idea so far is to either go with the flat plain stock and do the drilled dimples or buy a koolance cpu-200 block and break the plastic top off. Then I could center the inlet over the top of the cpu to rush over top of it.
At either end i would then have a outlet to either 5/8 or 1/2 barbs. This would give me a good base and the 3/4 inlet that id like to try. Plus it should give decent performance.
However it would be a little more expenseve then the other method of making dimples in copper stock.
Do you guys think it would be worth the expense of buying the block for a pre-made base?
Do you think that some drilled dimples would perform adequetly?
Any other ideas would be great too.
