My DIY waterblock.

tahustvedt · 12-08-2001, 05:14 PM

This is my first post here.

I just finished my new waterblock.

Here's a picture of the block before joining the parts. You can see the swirl-channel.

I'm gonna solder rigid copper pipes to the two holes. Eventually the whole system is gonna be one-piece from copper.

My radiator is a 180x160x50mm heatercore.

What do you think?

Very Nice! Let us know how it performs when you have everything setup. Is that a Addtronics 6890?

tahustvedt · 12-08-2001, 05:49 PM

No, it's an Aopen Hx-08. To be replaced with a wooden case. I will custom build the one-piece cooling for the wooden case.

Have to make the pipes so they can be bent away slightly from the CPU slightly in case hav to access it.

I take it you soldered the top plate to to the bottom plate with the channels on the waterblock? Very nice.

I have the same heatercore

VERY Nice finish on the block, Cant even see any seams...

Ja den er fin du

Hvordan fekk du kobberen så blank?

tahustvedt · 12-09-2001, 06:16 AM

First I sanded each side on a glass plate with some 220-grade sandpaper on it to even the sides out. Then I lapped them with progressively finer paper and finished with 1200. All surfaces except the bottom were polished with some steel-wool.I have never tried steel-wool before but it worked great!

I made myself a little nanoblock-wannabe. I'm not sure if it's wide enough for the AthlonXP as I don't have one. It's 11,2mm wide and 24mm long. If it's too small I can use it on my K6-3 instead and make a new one for the AthlonXP I ordered.

They're really easy to make.

I'm going to make a clip for it later.

Here it is.

Here it is next to a K6-2 and my other waterblock.

Man those are some great looking blocks. I wish I had the resources to put something like that together.

where can I find more information on the genuine nanoblock? google isn't helping, and it looks like a good idea to me

Kevin · 12-12-2001, 08:34 PM

OCWC's page is http://www.overclockwatercool.com/waterblocks.html , but they just give a pic of it and stuff.

I Imagine that means "finns kick ass"
but I'm guessing...

tahustvedt · 12-13-2001, 03:23 PM

Hehe!

It means "there are more of us"

finns=exists (but this sentence doesn't translate well directly)
