My new setup

-J- · Jan 25, 2004

ok, after lots of setbacks, i finally completed my setup.

a nice touch, its that the complete system can be removed without draining the WC.

im using a Shurflo Piranha 500 pump (500 gph), that runs on 12v DC. the heatcore its from an opel corsa. the block its a nice rotor block, with 4.5mm wide 10mm deep holes, with 3/4" hoses. the tank its made with 1cm thick acrylic and it has a 2 liter capacity. the hole system sucks 3 liters of distilled water. i used a radiator aditive called "bardhal" (similar to water wetter and such stuff).

im using 2 Panaflo 12cm H1A fans in a pull push setup, but i havent finished the shroud yet.

here some pics during the leak test.

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines !!!

nice feature, easy to remove it from the case without having to open the circuit.

do you have a link to where you got that pump?

if not, how much was it?

Thanks, looks great. Nice removal method

aww... that looks sweet dude..
did a great job cutting the case too, i would have mutilated it with my dremel skillz.
only con i have is this : all that cooling power for just one block

you could cool your NB, GPU with that and not even have to get stronger fan for your radiator!

Very nice job! I especially like the res. What did you use for a gasket on the lid?

doc6886 · Jan 26, 2004

I like the water color

neilmon, i didnt buy the pump online, a friend got it for me.

i hope this is of some use for you

korndog, GPU NB and SB blocks on its way, i just didnt wanted to wait for them. i will be running the basic setup until i finish making the other blocks.

moregooder, if you mean the black stuff, its a piece of rubber.

some performance numbers.

the procesor its a 1700+ 1.5v
i screwed an L3 blowing mod, so the multiplier is stuck on 17x

anyway, the vcore was 1.85 (for some reason the motherboard reports always 1.55v) and the room temp was 28 ºC.

Smirabi · Jan 30, 2004

it looks like the pump might be mixing air into your tubes. is that happening?

Korndog · Jan 30, 2004

very nice overclock dude
the cpu temp is kind of high though, for your setup atleast..
i think something is wrong...

-J- · Jan 31, 2004

smirabi, only in the pic i posted it was sucking air, then i completely filled the tank and stopped sucking air (there wasnt any air to suck).

korndog, i used UV tint, that might have decreased severely the performance of the water.

ill try using only distilled water.

kraigc · Jan 31, 2004

thats a friggin huge setup....is hard to find space for it ona desk? where do you put it in the house?

-J- · Jan 31, 2004

now its on top of my case, but im trying to make something like this to avoid having 3 litres of water over mas computer.

your temperature measurements are remarkably close to what they really are suppose to be (at those kind of speeds...), considering that it's being measured with MBM5 and the on-die diode.... well done indeed!

-J- · Feb 7, 2004

thx, how do you calculate the supposed temps?

PS: the distance between the base of the block and the holes inside is 2mm (is that called baseplate?) is that ok or to big?

the holes are 5mm wide, soon i will be upgrading to a new block with 2.5mm wide holes (lots of them)

MameXP · Feb 7, 2004

i think its because you high room temp (28c). Also if you can check to makre sure the block seat right.

Nice setup you got there,

#Rotor · Feb 14, 2004

2mm for die base thickness is perfect.... remember that the base of each hole is not flat, it's cone shaped, from the drill-bits shape.... so your average base thickness for the block is a tad more than that.

5mm holes is close to optimal.... smaller holes (and more of them) theoretically should give you better performance, as the copper/water mix is a lot finer, but then you approach the point where is becomes very difficult do retain the pin shape, which is a lot more important. I will suggest no smaller than 4.5 mm and then using a dremmel cutoff disk that leaves about a 1.2mm channel.... that way your pins will come out really nice and the channels are such that the block still give good flow.....
