Have you tried measuring it yourself? It's really not that difficult.

i would but i hav epoxyed a waterblock around it and it will never come off, i will use my next waterblock on a new cpu

Hey Overclocker, I just jumped off the internet to measure mine for ya. It measures 9.26mm (socket tab direction) by 13.34mm (lever direction). It's a 1G t-bird, and I used my calipers to be exact.

Hope this helps ya out.

ps. Great idea, by the way.

Someone's already done this and posted his pics on here, believe he called it the nano block or something.

There we go.

The nano block is a solid block in that it has no hole in the bottom for direct die cooling. Combining the two ideas is way cool.

By the way, I forgot to mention that there's a radius at the bottom edge where the die meets the substrate. The radius is made from the epoxy that sets the die in place. It's about 1mm radius on mine.

The nanoblock is sold at OverclockWatercool.com (http://www.overclockwatercool.com) for only $12 if anyone wants to give one a try. I would love to see how well it cools.

thanks all, i will start it now and should be finnished in time for when my digital camara arrives

[Tbird man]

heres my idea you could make the hole slightly bigger than the die but not too big to get into yhe bridges than you could makr the block out of lexan or similer materal and seal it with an O-ring
if it was bigger it would cool the sides as well

i havent tried it or anything, but i had the idea about 10 minits ago, cuz im gonna build mine completely, i just cut my window and painted my case and all....

but you know those elbows that just look like squairs? i just saw one today then just now i thought about it, just lap it good and stick some fittings on it? i didnt look at that good to tell if it could be lapped without going at it for a milion hrs. but ill check it out the next time i get the hardware store.

i also thought of a possibly better alternative is have it still be a big squair or a "+" with one entrance and 4 exits back to the rezi......

email me if you think of anything or know anything

on the pic, i dont know the sizes for the fittings, i just guessed
and i made them aprox- 1/2 intake and 3/8 exit

i have spent some time looking around for the best idea, the elbow idea is good but i am probably going to use a T fitting for a radiator and cut the middle leg of the T off, leaving a hole, i will start it today, although i was hoping on documenting it with a digial camera it has not arrived
