it was a stock amd heatsink that comes with a new processor. i have 2.5 of them left =)
i just used a dremel to cut it but you have to have some skill if you do it by hand like i do( i dont doubt that you could do it easily )

How do you make them? I really want some for my Epox 8RDA and I have lost my ramsinks I got for free a while back.. I know I got a few stock heatsinks a few others. Also, would it be possible to but the heatsink form a TT Volcano 11 with the demel? If so what type of wheel would I use for cutting the heatsinks?

thorilan · Aug 13, 2003

for cutting aluminum and copper heatsinks use a cutting wheel. usualy they are brown unless you get a black one that is fiberglass re enforced ( they dont break as easy and last longer but are more expencive)

for me it was just about looking at the sahpe i needed and thenlooking at my anthelon heatsink and seeing where i could make use of the cuts already in the fins so that i would only have to cut the base plate areaa and not through the fins till after the peice is seperated from the rest of the heatsink. i will be cutting a few other smaller parts too for some of the other parts.

oh and more pics today!!!!

here is the psu after 1200 grit (smallest grit i had so still have to pick up some 1400 and 1600 before i do the dremel buffing. notice you can almost read cathars info on the yellow paper =) and the reflection is not bad on the tape measure also . lol now i bet you all will stare at the pic to see how much of his address you can read

- nice mirror finish with only 1200 grit

thorilan · Aug 13, 2003

thanks. the secret is to alternate sanding directions when you change grit size and to sand till the lines going perpendiculare to your direction are 100% gone and then sand a little more but lightly before switching to another grit and changing directions ( 90 degrees)

here is a pic of power strip that mounts to case in the back after painting. the white stuff on it is sticky tape and comes off!!!

thorilan · Aug 18, 2003

here is the psu at 1500 grit

i had to move the paper with the words on it cause it was very easy to read the adress =)

Element-Xero · Aug 18, 2003

Nice finish dude.....I decided to mirror finish my psu black after seeing how nice yours came out.

thorilan · Aug 18, 2003

when all the sanding is finished i will need to put a clearcoat on it because the steal that is used is to make PSUs is low quality so it will rust .

still have 2000 grit 2500 grit and 3000 grit to go though before i break out the drememl and the polish wheels

TheGhengisKhan · Aug 18, 2003

ummm, you didn't sand the PSU without taking everything out first.... right???

thorilan · Aug 18, 2003

no i couldnt but i did wrap the inards first

altec · Aug 18, 2003

Looking really good thorilan.

Im still waiting for that plane ticket that you said you would get me to come over there to japan....

thorilan · Aug 19, 2003

hehe yu have to be 20 years old with a bachelors too lol

someone sent me an email recently that was already here in japan too btw. i cant use anyone that is already here because that means they lack dependancy and when you get here you will need to be my slave and 100% dependant so you cant escape my evil plot to rule the universe , well the world at least
