Watercooling: is this enough for 50W TDP? (nubee!)

[DSTA]

Hi all!

I'm new to the h2o school of thought and would like your advice on the setup I'm planning.

Design goal is to deal with the heat from an overclocked 0.13u Celeron (aka 'Tualaron') plus the heat from a Radeon 7500 GPU. My guesstimate is that this will be around 50W thermal to deal with in total, worst case.

I'd like to use an inline system, and it would be good to get away with as many standard pneumatics parts as possible, because I don't have good tools around for tapping, drilling, etc.

So far I've got most components figured out - only thing puzzling me is the waterblock for the CPU.

Do you think something as simple as this could work?

It's some kind of aluminum 'mini manifold' for pneumatic systems that happens to be just the size of a socket 370 chip. The two unused holes would be plugged so that water would flow in 90 degrees through the waterblock.

i duno what your p[lugs are like in Germany but you could do alot worse then this, since you dont need to worry about resistors and bridges on a intel

the block is direct die, which offers best perfmance for lower heat application (your and mine) have a look here aswell www.spodeabode.com

Thanks for the pic & the links!

I'm more than a bit scared, because of:

- my skill in getting that kind of assembly watertight. Finding a suitable cap is no problem, but when messing with (standard) silicon stuff in kitchen & bathroom, I've never achieved anything too usefull (nevermind durable) ;).

- a little hole on the FCPGA2 chips where (I believe) they push in the TIM under the funky integrated heat spreader. Dunno if that is waterproof.

I think I'll try that little manifold first (costs around 8 Euro) but perhaps with 1/2" fittings.

the overclocker is that your block?

And I see two deltas that must be already loud haha.
