Ok I have a design for a new waterblock. I want to find out if it will be a good design so I came to the source, Overclockers Forums.
Ok has everyone see the new Swiftech heatsinks with the helical pin design. Well I was thinking to myself what if you took that desing and added water to the equation? I was thinking of cutting a water block out of copper and instead of a simple maze desing it would be made of many helical pins like a heatsink with water running through it.
Now I also was thinking about extending the pins out of the waterblock and making them into a heatsink and attaching a fan to create a dual cooler. I was wondering if this would have much of an effect on the temperature and if I could make these pins run out of the block without creating leaks.
Now I just thought to myself and said I could make a waterblock. Drill holes in it and get some screwes and thread the hole in the block, after appling silicon I could thread the screws in, cut off the heads to create that helical pin desing by rounding off the top of the screw. Than I could attach a fan.
Anyways I will try creating this myself and test it on some industrial applications before putting it my PC and I will give you the benchmarks, but by all means before I do all this please provide comments and opinions. I think this will work great basic theorically the helical pin design will increase surface area and heat dispersion.
Thanks
