The mounting holes should be 0.230 inch or 0.150 inch. I believe that the smaller dimension is now in use except for one mobo out there (but can't remember which). A 6-32 threaded bolt will fit nicely.

You dont need the fins directly under the exit barbs, they have no particular use, and kills flow. In my opinion, get rid of them.

makes sense thanks for the tip. i was told once that you wanna get a good amount of surface area for teh water to touch, as much as possible the more the merryer, is this a false statement or is the key to find the nice balance?

It's balance. The pins act as fins to increase the surface area, through which the heat gets transfered. The issue is that those pins (aka fins) are way outside of the heat source, hence they don't have any purpose.
You ought to take a couple of hum... days and read through my block design thread (in my sig). ![]() |

Is there any way that you could squeeze two more pins, in the middle? (if those are indeed pins!)
You're on the right track. You should take into consideration the location of the CPU die. In fact, why don't you overlay it, over your design, and see where it fits? |
