Bump...
Well, I thought I'd bring this back from the dead with a new idea...
What if I drilled out the bottom of the "tower" section, and pressed in a copper insert? How much of an improvement (if any) should I expect to see? I will post pics to illustrate soon... Bob

Looks interesting.
I wouldn't think you would get much of an increase by modifying the base. What might give an increase is many small holes drilled through the core of the thing, increasing surface area around the hot part. (Just an Idea) Cheers, pippin88 |

Yep, but it is possible to get it reanodized (or even do it yourself)

although you will probably end up with a good performing waterblock, i dont know why you are trying to fit your design around those heatsinks.
there are a few problems with them, the main one being that they are made out of aluminum so they will not perform as well. i will suggest a better and easier idea: make similar heastinks out of copper, they seam quite easy to make with a lathe or even attaching copper to a drill and spinning it while making the groves with a file, infact i may try somehting like that... this idea also makes it easier to attach it to a base and sides because it can be soldered easier, you can also use an end cap to encapsulate it. |

Hmmm... I have one of these sitting on my desk at home. I scored it out of an ancient Micron about a year ago when they were pitching a bunch of old computers here at work. Got me some 100baseFX cards too, have yet to find a use for those... Anyhow, I'm not too sure this piece has the capacity to be implemented as a CPU cooler. It might just make a good GPU/chipset cooler, though! I must look at it some more...
