Default Another block design

the inlet is 1/2", the channels are 3/8" x1/2", the block is 3/4" of an inch high, with a 1/4" thick base, the outlets are 3/8". The holes are the position of the amd mounting holes, a P4 version wouldn't be hard to do.

comments?

yes, so you can have two rads, then a manifold, then a pump, then back to the block. It's to maximise waterblock flow, while keeping radiator flow near the radiator's optimal point

Very nice, pretty wide though, wouldn't fit on my motherboard (Epox 8kta3+) without hitting the chipset heatsink, and hanging 10mm over the edge of the board on the other side.

But on a motherboard that it would fit on it'd be a goer

I'm getting a bit bored with labyrinth style waterblocks, when i get around to making another one I'll try a finned design, mabie including the 1 in 2 out style of yours.

Biggest problem I see it it is to long. Almost 3 3/4". Wouldn't fit on any of my boards and a lot of other boards. other than that it looks good.

Yeah, about 3 inches is all I was able to get away with and still be compatable with most MB`s. might be able to get a little longer, but it becomes a problem

it isn't 4 3/4", it's 3 5/8" Regardless though, a 92mm x 50mm will fit on both sockets of my VP6, and both sockets of the Iwill, Asus, and Epox dual athlons.

Looking at the 8kta3+, it wouldn't hit the NB, but it would be off the side of the board by about 5mm

comparing it to a maze 2, it is 6mm longer on either side, which isn't too much at all

yeah, I got bit of inspiration from those, but I've been working on dual outlets for a while now

thanks Al, DDen will be making the socket A one for me whenever they have time, it will probably go to Joe for the waterblock roundup first though

on some of those, you also have to consider that the whole diameter for the mouting bolts is not that small, I see at least 1 that will not work in that configuaration.

U might try either making the outlet channels shorter, or angled and shorter. Having that mounting hole thrue the channel wall is not a good idea, when you go to drill it, it will either warp badly, break the wall, or cause the wall to be super thin, and sprining a leak over time.

my chump change worth

well, it doesn't really matter how big the hole is in the mobo, the hole can be smaller and just have a washer at the other end.

as far as the hole in the channel goes, it's the only place that will do, unless a Z4 style mounting adapter is to be used underneath the block

well I know I dont want to have 3 pounds of copper suspended on a itty bitty set of bolts. that would be insain, I would recomend planning on making holes the same size as the holes in the mother board. That way U can use a little heavier bolt. Plus very thin long bolts and nuts can somewhat be hard to find.

maybe if you angled the channels a bit to create more material in those 4 locations ( In some of the designs 2 locations) that way you would get the best of both worlds. But utter then that...... They are worth a shot Brad.

U are obsessed with having a bunch of tubing running to your chip aint U?

it isn't that small, still 3mm across (I believe the current nylon bolts dden uses are about 4mm across.

I might be able to get a block made in Aluminium with the blue leds through stevo, I think it would look quite cool, anyone have any suggestions as to where the leds should be?

I really like that 66X50mm one. IF I had more time I would try and make one. Don't have anything to test it with though anymore. *Sigh*

ahh Poor Jay.

What I am thinking for a test rig is a 120 watt pelt. With nothing on the bottom adding heat. I think this will give consistant results, and U can insure consistant mounting.

Now, who wants to trade out for some matching pelts?

Sounds like a plan and a more reliable way to test being it pretty much removes any mounting problems that may happen. Do you have a power supply to handle them?

yeah, I have a HUGE 1500 watt 12 v power supply that I got out of an old server case. This thing ran a bunch of Cards and about 12 120mm fans, I use it primaraly to run the 600 watt car amp And 4 12 subs. It can take it, with ease

i'm sure dtek wouldn't mind giving you a couple of pelts, (if you *shipped* spirals he might give you heaps of them :P )

I think I'd use the 66 x 50 one for non pelt and single pelt use, cause it'd have less flow resistance than the other designs
