I'm posting this thread because I want suggestions/recommendations on my design.
So I'm going to be getting a 7990, and so far all the waterblocks I've seen are complete crap. I have found some that work really well, but I HATE how they look and seeing as how I have a mostly clear DIY chassis I don't want it looking like scat so I'm going to be making a custom waterblock and I figure if I'm going to be putting in the effort to make a custom full coverage block why not go overkill with a super cooler.
So here's the idea I'll get something like this with peltiers mounted on both sides
http://www.shop.customthermoelectri...87D55D979F715B024CF89EAF114B16C7.qscstrfrnt06
Have it configured so that one peltier sits with the cold side on the GPU and the other peltier sits with the cold side pulling heat from the fluid in the waterblock
Then mount that on both GPU's, then use a vacuum bag and seal it flush with the card. Then cast the mold in a ceramic, then use basic casting stuffs to reverse the mold. Then run copper tubing along all the rest of the card. Then put that tubing in the mold and smelt some copper so I have a full coverage block.
Then a chamber outside the full coverage pipes and outside the GPU blocks that would be encased in a clear acrylic chamber for visual effects.
I would have the entire block with only 1 in barb and 1 out barb. The water would flow in the following sequence
in barb -> full coverage copper tubing -> GPU #1 block -> GPU #2 block -> freeflow acrylic chamber -> out barb
I'm have various ideas for heatsinks for the second peltier set that pulls heat from the liquid, so don't assume I have overlooked that. I have not, I just haven't decided if I want to use a second set of liquid cooling for that, or if I don't to use fans, or most likely I will have a passive heatsink for it
ANY IDEA ;D
