maskedgeek · 05-03-2002, 09:34 AM

maskedgeek · 05-03-2002, 09:35 AM

another

i can see myself!

maskedgeek · 05-03-2002, 09:36 AM

heres what it looks like from the top(better view)

im also gonna revize the design and make an aluminum one(copper SUCKS to mill!)

webmedic · 05-03-2002, 10:05 AM

Who let you out of the cage at overclockers?

maskedgeek · 05-03-2002, 10:17 AM

lol, im still there,

webmedic · 05-03-2002, 10:20 AM

So how does that thing perform?

maskedgeek · 05-03-2002, 10:40 AM

like i said, ill finish monday, i gotta cut the top on the bansaw and drill some holes on the drill press

Cyco-Dude · 05-03-2002, 11:13 AM

looks sweet do0d. how wide / deep are the channels tho? how thick is the base?

finish that bastard and post some numbers

(a comparison to a maze2 / 3 would be sweet).

maskedgeek · 05-03-2002, 11:22 AM

well the base is .25in thick the channel is .25deep and the width of the channels is 3/16in

i cant get it finished till monday need drillpress....and bansaw

jag_e_fattig · 05-03-2002, 11:28 AM

looks good, hope it works good

Brad · 05-03-2002, 04:47 PM

looks nice, are you a bit afraid that a lot of the water will go through the outer channel and not to the centre of the block?

Fixittt · 05-03-2002, 08:18 PM

why not show us the mill it was machined on as well, at least I would be interested in seeing it.

Likewise, I bet it is bigger than mine!!!

Cyco-Dude · 05-03-2002, 09:52 PM

brad, look at the path again. it goes in the mid, splits into 2 separate channels, then meets up again @ the other end

maskedgeek, it doesnt look like there will be room for the fittings. what size fittings are you planning on using anyway?

the mill looks similar to yours, but its encased in a box type thing and i think its called "spectralight" yea thats the name

i was gonna get a pic or 2 but noone had their digi cam with that day, and the pics i tried to get the other day, for some reason didnt go, but when i mill a aluminum one ill try to get pics!

and the fittings, actually they are very far apart.....
thats the wood i tested the design on.... and i didnte get around to milling that middle section out...

Brad · 05-03-2002, 11:41 PM

see the red one has a much much much longer and more restrictive path

maskedgeek · 05-03-2002, 11:45 PM

TURBULENCE

(sp?)heh

Cyco-Dude · 05-04-2002, 12:16 AM

i wouldnt mill the center out...id leave it the way it is (might make the channels bigger / deeper in increase flowrate tho)

to Brad, im still not understanding what youre talking about lol. what about the red part? the red part leads to the green part; its a continuous channel. im confoozed :shrug:

maskedgeek · 05-04-2002, 12:21 AM

on the second one i do, im gonna make that island a little smaller, and increase the width of them walls(not the wide ones) becuase they are SOOOOO THIN!

Brad · 05-04-2002, 12:27 AM

now that I've seen the pic that masked geek uploaded, I get the idea of where he will be putting the barbs, not in the places I had guessed

Cyco-Dude · 05-04-2002, 12:39 AM

yeah, some of those wall look very thin (too thin). maybe make the island thinner, but leave it intact? or just do a buttload of different styles (if you're making em outta aluminum now) and see what works best.

oh, what are the outter dimensions of the block? (L, W, H)

maskedgeek · 05-04-2002, 09:14 AM

oooh that block is 2x3x.5in the channel is .25in deep,(except were the mill cough and snapped off(around.375))

and yes, the inner island is .25in wide, itll be like 1/8 or so and the walls near that will be as thick as the other ones hopefully

maskedgeek · 05-07-2002, 07:53 AM

well guys, my wb blew the gemini off the chart! (or got in first)

i have 21c water and 27c cpu wow! its now .09 c/w but last nite it was .125c/w

ok maby something is rong, this is full load also! i did put a thermister next to my core and thats were im getting the 27c and a soil probe in my water wich is were i get the 21c so maby it is rite!

EDIT: Hoot from ocforums lives near me, and he is gonna test it and compare it to the rest of the top dog blocks(gemini, maze 2 swiftech z4.....)

maskedgeek · 05-09-2002, 08:27 PM

well guys, i reseated my wb and made the probe not touch the wb, so it only touches the core, and im still getting the same results! .1 c/w!

maskedgeek · 05-09-2002, 08:29 PM

oh i havent posted pics of the finished product!

ill be getting some awesome pics tomoro of it in my system and my system.......
