Cathar, because I was being accused of high jacking this thread I have posted the same questions below. I posted a quote from you.
Morphling1 blocks are not being mass made and are not offered for sell that I know of. A few people have them. All I am asking is your input, granted I know you do not have the block in hand, but what's printed in orange, Morphling1 block has.
If you do not want to respond I and others will understand. I am only asking because of the reference made by you above.
Cathar, I don't think I have ever seen or read what your thoughts on Morphling1 microfin block. Care to take a stab at it?Originally posted by Cathar Well, 3 barbs may not be it. My next block may have 2 barbs if the performance is acceptable.
For another block to be even on the right track so it can contend with the WW, it has to have accelerated jet-impingement flow directly above the CPU die area, or exceptionally fine channels (<=1mm). If a block doesn't have either, then it's on a different race-track.
BTW, in response to above. For closed waterblocks (non-direct-die) 3C better than the White Water on a ~80W CPU heat source of ~100mm^2 in size is a possibility in theory only. Crunching through the math and we get ~4.5C better as the absolute theoretical limit, the limiting factors being the thermal paste and the required copper base-plate on the block itself. To close the gap between the White Water and the theoretical 4.5C "perfection", requires hyperbolic increases in metal->fluid convectional transfer efficiency. 2C better than the White Water requires about a doubling of the White Water's convectional transfer efficiency, which is about the absolute limit of what's possible using good pressure centrifugal pumps (Iwaki, etc). To get better than this would require pretty extreme equipment and micro-manufacturing tolerances, and be exceptionally expensive.
