Would love to see a lapping how to on these

You buid the WB out of This. Would have to be Cast/Pressed unless your a diamond cutter.

With This this as its heat spreader! Or you could just blast water at that image that comes up on the left.

Then you can go to the folks to bum food for a year!

using the HeaThru Products solution you wouldn't have to nessaraly make the block out of it but you could make a block around it.

To my knowledge, artificial diamonds aren't too costly. The real deal gem quality ones are the ones which cost you an arm & a leg because of the effective diamond monopoly* set up by the Debeers Company. Diamonds are not very rare, there are more diamonds than there are other precious stones. The Debeers Company however limits the amount of diamonds sold each year much like OPEC does with Oil. This is why your wife's/mom's diamond ring cost a fortune but the diamond encrusted hack saw blade, which has more diamonds than most rings, cost a few bucks. Its all about the look, the quality, the cut, & most importantly how your diamond was made (i.e. dug up from the ground through natural process or made in a lab)

*Its not a complete monopoly as you can get diamonds from other sources such as from Arkansas & other parts of the world but they almost control the entire commercial diamond market.

Well I emailed one of the companies "Diamond Materials GmbH" and got this for a reply
Quote:
thank you for your interest in our CVD diamond products.
Unfortunately the cooling of computer chips is not an application we are pursuing.
This is because this application is very price sensitive - on the one hand side - and on the other hand side one would require heatspreaders of significant size.
The price for this heatspreader would exceed the price of the entire computer.
I hope that this is convincing.
so i guess that puts that idea out the window..

Do you consider yourself to be Broad Minded??
Once you have answered that for yourself, ask yourself:
How would a narrow minded person have answered himself?? :-)

CPU Cooling is becoming a science even in the enthusiast sector!
Do you know how much overclockers are spending on Hardware and cooling??

The design is well suited to a small Diamond disk in its base.

This design has now been comercialised and, thanks to the Internet, will make millions. None of which will end up in your bank account.

The question is now: Are you broad minded enough to say to yourself; "I have been an ASSHOLE!" :-)

I don't understand your hostility to the company or to Woerner...
there apears to be nothing that shows any disrespect to you...
could you explain?

It seems as though the response from the company didn't have any hostility in it at all... They could have just been looking for answers that weren't in your first email.

But what really interests me is the flatness of the diamond disks from the supplier. It claims to be "very flat and very smooth" but I'm not sure if they just cut and polished it or maybe cut and lapped it or stone ground it. Another interesting point is how much pressure the disk can widthstand. We don't want a diamond composite disk breaking because we screw down our mounts too tightly. If they're too frail then we wouldn't reap any benefit due to the lack of pressure over the cpu die.

I do like the fact that it is fully customizable though.

This means we can do a jet impigment disk 2mm x 30mm with metallization along the rim. (The metallization should allow for a good bond with the base right?)

Oops!

EDITed out my reply, about a month ago:
To which I got NO reply!

Hi Eckhard

I am thinking of using the disk as a heat spreader on a
CPU, with a copper water block: Around 100 Watts from
about 1 square cm.

I do not know what the optimal thickness and diameter
should be for this application, but cost is a big
consideration. :-)

If price/performance is good the market should abzorb at
least 100 disks. Probably thousands!

THX

Cathars blocks are half a mm thick at the bottem of the holes, so having the jets spraying down onto a diamond disk.....
The surrounding copper provides the strength for the thin base.

lol, forgot the fact that we'd be using this for jet impigment (DUH)
