Default Block Idea *pic*


The block would be 60mmx66mm solid copper. The shaded region would have clearance of 1mm between the top and the base. The rest of the channel would be 1/2" deep. Base thickness would be 1mm. The central barb itself would be encompasing the conical pins, causing a restricted jet flow over the core and around the pins. The shaded region would be an extrusion from the cap of the block, not the base of the block.

Let me know what you guys think. I'm testing the water with block designs. I'm going to have access to my school's cnc machine this summer.
Sorry for the poor quality picture also...

Can't you post a CAD model?

Interesting Idea but I think it has already been discussed somewhere (or something very similar).

Sorry, I've got exactly 0 cad skills for this type of thing.
Chewyboy: the reasoning behind the block is similar to that block (which I have seen but can't remember whose it is).

Sorry about my sketch, I drew it in class quickly kinda daydreaming.
The base of the block would only have the egg shaped channel along with the pins over the core of the cpu. The top of the block would be copper and have the 'doughnut' shaped O that extends down INTO the channel of the base. The clearance between the doughnut and the base would be ~1mm. The coolant would come in through the center of the doughnut and be forced down over the pins, and then would exit out of the central area through the 1mm space between the doughnut and the base into the egg shaped chamber. Then it would exit out the other barb marked in the top left of the block.

I understand that this block would be EXTREMELY flow restrictive, but it would also be very turbulent, and I feel that it would pick heat up off the core very well.

I hope this helps you guys visualize the idea. The block itself should be really really really easy to mill, and the gap between the base and the doughnut could also be modified to tweak flow.

-Zoson
Edit: I would also like to note that the block is only 60mm x 66mm and would fit over a cpu and NOT need mounting holes. Seeing as the holes have been dropped by amd, and the upcoming hammer boards definately will not have them, I thought it would be good to design a block that could last.

Dang gulp, everyone's already done it Thanks for the linkage. That's almost exactly what I had in mind, except instead of dimples having extruded pins, and the block would only need to be two pieces, instead of 4.
