Making a waterblock...
What do you guys think of this as an idea for a waterblock:
I got a 20x30mm peice of copper, sawed out of a old heatsink. it is 8mm high, with a base of 5mm and square fins cut down to 3mm.
Now im thinking of placing the copper peice inside a peice of 5mm thick brass, for base of a wb, and then solder another 5mm brass bar onto that one (with a channel cut out) and then yet another with barbs. im gonna cool a AMD chip so i really dont need it to be all copper, and i had a substancial peice of brass lying around....
The copper peice will be positioned in the middle of the block, 1 cm from each of the longside edges. the brass peices will be 5x50x76mm.
Now some questions:
First of all what do u think of that design?
And should i use 3 barbs (1 in, 2 out) or just one in one out?
And should i bother to make some kind of jet nozzle or just let it be?
Should i even bother making it?
