I want to make a waterblock quickly and easily, and the cross drilled type looks good, as I will be using aluminium as the metal, a dremel to drill, and I have BJweld to plug unneeded holes.
I was thinking of using a desing where there are two layers of drilled channels, the bottom (that would be nearest the CPU) would have the inlet water, and the top layer would lead to the outlet. If you looked at the flow from a side-on perspective, you would see a kind of a C-shaped flow pattern.
Assuming I am using 1/2" inlet and eight 3mm diameter holes per layer, sould this perform well. Do these types of block perform well at all? Would it be able to handle a big pelt, say 120W plus a 50W cpu? I have a big rad and a 1000Lph pump, to help you think about it's possibility in my system.
I'm just wondering, as I won't have a big drill until Xmas, so I can't make any wider channelled blocks til then.
