diy water block made from ak370 hsf

this is the middle acrylic layer i used the dremel bench to cut the middle away and also the jet in the center.



you can see the channel i cut into the inlet to cover the jet.



and here the jet in action.

this is the finshed block. i used silicon sealent to join the top and base



and the rig i will use it in. before i installed the 2nd fan and shrouds.



i did the 3 test's here are the results

system asus p4pe p4 2.53 1.52v pc3200 ram.
i attached a probe to the side of the cpu heat spreader.

test 1. stock intel hsf.
at idle
room cpu chipset probe
19----- 39--- 20------- 26.6
after 30 cpu tests in sandra 2003
room cpu chipset probe
19----- 52.5--20------- 38.3

test 2. koolance exos fans at full (this was the 2nd test as the first one the cpu was not maing very god contact.
at idle after 30 mins to allow system to settle down
room cpu chipset probe
19------36-----20--------24.2
after 30 cpu tests using burnin wizard on sandra 2003
room cpu chipset probe
19------41----20---------28.4

test 3. my water block with eheim 1048 and chevvy heater core
at idle again after 30 mins
room cpu chipset probe
19------33---20--------22.3
after 30 cpu tests using burnin wizard on sandra 2003
room cpu chipset probe
19-----36----21--------25.8

this is the best i can do as i dont have any other water blocks to put into my rig and do a direct test against it.

any way i did what i wanted to do and that was make a rig better then the koolance exos i have.

i have a new version of the top made from a single piece of lexan.




and a prototype amd version with 1/2 inch pipe made to a taper.
