My block project - Page 4

Why dont you just try out your original block before you go an make more of them?

I am sure that the rest of us are just dieing to see how that thing preforms! Just a suggestion

My marketability studies are very positive and I have very high confidence in performance. It should perform well not "preform", that's what a few discarded prototypes are

Of course I will keep all informed, and thanks for the input.

I can honestly say, that making them is alot more fun then testing and trying them..... so keep on cutting!!!!!

I broke my last 1/8 endmill last night carving a block design someone emailed to DTek. Damn them small endmills!

Work continues on the AMD model

Here's a shroud I made. It's one piece of heavy gauge aluminum bent to fit with a two inch depth. Would this depth be optimal?
There will be a center piece for rigidity and act as a baffle.

Tygon hose, brass barbs, and polycarbonate order came in other day. The 3/8" tubing seems excellent but I don't like the 1/2" because it collapses too easy on long lengths but will work good for shorter lengths.

gone_fishin · 06-12-2002, 02:59 AM

Pump is in and leaktesting has begun

gone_fishin · 06-12-2002, 03:02 AM

Also put together another aluminum block for testing.
I tried getting a flow rate but it went through so fast I can't be too accurate. It took 13-14 seconds to blow 2 gallons through the pump and block. I had 1 ft of 1/2" I.D. hose on the intake bent down in a tub with three gallons of water in it. The pump was on a paint can beside the tub and I had 1 1/2 ft of 1/2" I.D. hose to my waterblock suspended above so the total rise was near 3 ft considering the height of the pump and outlet barb.

7s per gal = 8.57 gal per min = 514 gph @ 3' head, pump + block

Brad · 06-12-2002, 03:13 AM

hehe, your blocks are insane, why don't you try a 3/4" ID barb, and a circle of 3/8" barbs?

gone_fishin · 06-12-2002, 03:24 AM

I got an extra bag of 3/8" barbs in with my last order just for that purpose

gone_fishin · 06-13-2002, 05:45 AM

Mounted easy, piece of cake

Volenti · 06-13-2002, 07:32 AM

Nice, looking forward to seeing some temp results, I'm particulary keen on idle v load temps to compare with my own results using this block since we're both using high flow set ups and p4's (allthough you have signifigantly more flow than me

)

gone_fishin · 06-13-2002, 08:12 AM

I just read the thread but according to you there, you have a Tbird and use evaporative cooling, sounds like comparing apples to oranges unless I missed something.

gone_fishin · 06-13-2002, 08:15 AM

BTW folks, it's alive

Although I don't have my shroud and fans yet. The heatercore is by a fan with air blowing around it and not much forced through it like this. I'll try some testing tonight and overclocking.

jag_e_fattig · 06-13-2002, 08:32 AM

looks kewl, keep it up!

when I posted that I was running an athlon rig, I am now running a p4 1.8@2.6, 1.7v, hence my interest in temps.

gone_fishin · 06-14-2002, 01:59 AM

I got a little overclocking in and here's a pic of my high so far.

P41.6A
In another test to attempt a c/w
water temp 30C
cpu temp 45.5C full load
vcore 1.9volts
cpu clock 2535.41mhz
watts from benchtest.com 152.55

c/w comes out to .1016 for what it's worth. I measured the water with the mobo thermister.

I'm not using the shroud and fans yet because I don't have them.
Also I used ASIII so it hasn't had time to set in.

Dix Dogfight · 06-14-2002, 05:42 AM

152.55 Watts!!!!!!!! from a P4.
Hmmm either I missed something or there is something strange with benchtest.com

Brad · 06-14-2002, 06:00 AM

that probably isn't too far off, especially if you have a northwood at 1.9v

gone_fishin · 06-14-2002, 04:08 PM

My difference from idle to full load is 3C. Checked it at 2135mhz 1.68vcore. 34C idle 37C load for half an hour. Response back to idle temps are quick, 2 seconds. Is this good? Sure beats air cooling

that's almost exactly the same idle/full load difference that I have, does water cooling rock or what?

It sure does

Are you still using evaporative cooling? What are some details on your overclocking results and temps?

chazz469 · 06-15-2002, 03:22 AM

Right now I'm ust using the DD Cooler Cube. Not too hapy with the results. Thinking about making a bong....or evaporative cooling device. But load temp of 42/43°C returns to idle temp of 39/40°C within seconds as is. Water cooling totally rocks!!!!

a properly set up bong will kick the snot out of rad based water cooling, give it a try, they don't cost much to set up(they do require re-filling/matinence though)

I'm temporally using a heatercore while I build my new case(yes another one)

I'm using a pump rated at 2000L/H (532GPH) and getting in system 750L/H (200GPH) the block you've already seen.

P4 1.8a@2.5 1.69v

water 25.8c (senfu probe)

idle 36c
load 39c

kind of get the impression that the limiting factor is the core to heatspreader interface, thoughts?

note; the water-idle-load temp differences stay pretty well constant , ie; if the water's 15c the cpu is 25c idle, 28c load ect.
