Here are some pictures of a new waterblock we just finished making. Some thanks to bigben for a start at this design.

Looks nice - is it the Radius?
Tell us how it performs

darren_21 · 10-06-2004, 02:18 PM

yes the Radius was the design base.

Ally? prototype?

Looks very nice

, is it going to be 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 barb (list could go on)?

Roscal · 10-06-2004, 03:33 PM

Nice milling job

bigben2k · 10-06-2004, 03:43 PM

Yep, that was the original design. It was later modified to have the center four fins connect, then have a single center inlet (with 4 channels). Still not built.

Nice work!

I would hope not, would be a slight waste to make the top from silver

What i ment was are you going to make a copper/silver version?

slater..

Looks like a nice design. I can't wait to hear how it preforms.

(side note: Thanks again Joe for fixing it so I can post again)

darren_21 · 10-07-2004, 03:43 PM

We're in the process of making custom 1/16" NPT fittings for the outlets. As soon as that's done we can begin the testing stage!!

If the test goes well then we will be moving on to making a copper version.

darren_21 · 10-13-2004, 10:33 AM

I installed the waterblock and everything is running good.

That's a nice overclock indeed

...and pretty nice case temp, 12°C!

Delirious · 10-13-2004, 05:56 PM

Is the finished product goin to be made out of copper? Looks nice, kinda looks like the inside of the polarflo TT
