Diode Bridge waterblock

Bloody_Sorcerer · 07-03-2005, 04:23 PM

just a rough design. if i use this design, the various (guessed) measurements will probably change. Just a quick MS Paint throwtogether:

my reasoning for this design is that:
1) its an easy-to-do drillpress block
2) doesn't look too restrictive
any thoughts?
(also, all those holes would be equidistant from eachother :P)

I made one just like it. I used 2.0mm diameter holes across the block, and about 19 of them, but in 2 layers with 10 across in one layer about 2mm up from the base, and 9 across in a second layer a further 2mm up, but staggered. Took me forever on the drill-press, for which I had to constantly oil the bit to prevent it from grabbing and snapping the bit, which did happen about 5 times.

It works reasonably well as a TEC block. The one that I made was a little large to go onto a GPU.

where'd you get the name "Diode Bridge"? is this going on your power regulators?

it'll be used in part for my TEC powersupply
