Trying for a new block - check out drawings

*klonk* · 06-30-2007, 05:59 PM

Ive thinking about upgrading to a Core2Duo sometime soon and making a new block for it. Combine that with me studying to become an engineer and you're got these drawings

Now I know that this design is by far not at all original, it's made with a manual mill in mind. It's also limited by the materials I've got and my experience with a mill in mind.

Now I'd like some opinions from this experienced board. Please tell me how to improve the design or if theres any flaws in it.

Bottom will be made from copper, the top I haven't decided yet (might be brass or nylon/POM)

ps. anyone know the dimensions of a core2duo IHS?

Perhaps a little sturdier mounting.

You think it'll be necessary if it's made with 2mm stainless steel?

I don't remember what the recommended clamping force of heatsinks are these days, but thx for the input

If you're studying to be an engineer, you have go to pull yourself together. Use some ingenuity.. Not saying the block is bad as is, but given the opportunity you can do much better.

Well that was a bit vague - theres a difference between going for a high performance and complex block and going for one that's simple and practical to make. I could probably make something along the lines of the Storm but that's not the goal here.

looks okay as a learning a lathe problem, think looking in the textbooks for good gemoetry would be useful.

If you want a high performance version try doing jet impingement with cross flow. WCers don't use it but industry does alot and its easy to make (just add a row of jets above your fins).

Im still in the research-part of this little project but I think I hit a snag.

Initially I planned to concentrate cooling-efforts around the source of the heat: the cores. But after reading this (semi-ancient but highly relevant) http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...7201#post57201
Im not so sure anymore - how bad is the problem with current core2duo chips? IHS' still concave as ..... ?
