Planning to wc my computer (barton 2500+, nforce2, radeon9700).
The goal is mostly silence but also some OC...
Only have access to drillpress with X-Y table (Also a lathe and other common machinery. No mill.)
Planned loop:
..................../ gpu-rad \
-pump-cpu <.................> small tank/airtrap-
....................\ nb- rad /
Nb and gpu blocks are to be identical inside.
Cpublock as follows?
Hole diam. 3mm.
Channels: 1mm. (Dremmel cutting wheels).
Barbs: 10mm.
Thickness: 10mm. (Got this already,
wont change)
Pump: most likely eheim 1048 (big/expensive/noisy pumps are not an option...)
Rad: Cut up condenser from industrial AC made from copper pipes and Al fins spaced 1mm apart. (Probably wont change since i can make this exactly the size i want to fit in my PC-60. Will end up about 250*3-400mm)
Some questions:
Drill depth: big question... 7mm?
Channel depth: 6mm (leaves small cup that causes turbulence at bottom?)
Should i make the holes bigger? 4mm?
Or aim for a simpler/less restriktive design?
Thicker base in over cpu? Or cut down these pins?
Thanks to: #rotor , Jaydee and everyone else here who have given me ideas and inspiration.
