I was just wondering for all you true DIY ppl out there try making a waterblock out of graphite heres why.
here is chart of all the thermal conductivities:
http://hypertextbook.com/physics/thermal/conduction/index.shtml
aluminum is 237
copper is 401 (hence better cooler)
silver is 429
diamond is 895!
but whats insanely awesome is
graphite (parallel) at 1950..the only problem is its a non-metal....
it is hard though...
I think it would make an awesome awesome water block if the water cool cool that graphite fast enough...it would never work in a ir cause no fan coud cool a heatsink thats pulls away heat so fast....
what do you guys think about this though?
