My Ketchak Nº11.

Ketchak · 04-02-2003, 05:04 PM

This is my new waterblock.

A microchannel with the channels in form of radios. As those of the bigben2k drawings but lightly different.
My few tools have not allowed to differ more the design.

- Base of copper C101 (Silver Plated) 60x50x5,5
- 18 or 12 channels of 0,9mm.
- Thickness in the center 1,5 mm.

Not tested

More pics.

Thats one sweet looking block, Nice job

bigben2k · 04-02-2003, 05:17 PM

Can't wait to see the performance! Nice silver finish.

Have you done any testing, comparing the bare copper versus the silver plating?

mobuis · 04-02-2003, 05:19 PM

WOW that looks REALLY nice good job

I'd wager that it wouldn't make a difference. I think the layer is too thin for the silver to have any affect.

Gungrefjaert · 04-02-2003, 05:25 PM

Nice !

jaydee · 04-02-2003, 05:27 PM

Cool!

Pritorian · 04-02-2003, 05:28 PM

That is oneSweet! block

Ketchak · 04-02-2003, 05:37 PM

I am very tired of making tests with blocks.
The performance is not something important for my, to my I like to build them, later I prove them after several weeks of having it finish.

In my Nº4 I detect an improvement of around 1ºC in favor of the silver pattern. Both surfaces polished mirror.
The oscillation of the internal diode prevents to be more I specify
I don't understand because since the silver layer is very fine.
Symbiosis with the Artic Silver?
I not it
However the pattern also taken a bath in copper improvement the performance of that of copper nude.
Then, I don't understand anything but they work me better.

Very, very nice. Excellent job

max · 04-02-2003, 07:16 PM

how much did it cost to get it silver plated?

nicozeg · 04-02-2003, 08:07 PM

Hey, I have the ugly sister of your block!

I made it with a dremel; How did you made the channels? Small diameter disc saw?

Doesn't look like it. The channels are silvery too.

Silver plating aint that hard.

Gungrefjaert · 04-03-2003, 02:33 AM

Did anyone of you take a look at his site? There's a few really nice blocks there.

-Ketchak

How about a bit on the making of the block ?

Ketchak · 04-05-2003, 06:15 AM

Max, depends on the quantity of pieces that are taken. I usually take between 30 and 50 blocks. That reduces the cost.
In any case it should overcome the 2€.

Nicozeg, a disk saw of 100 mm of diameter and 0,8 mm of thickness.

No, Liquid Rulez, I buy copper and once finished the block plates it

Thank you Gungrefjaert, this it is my hobby although it doesn't have the tools and machines very appropriate.
I have to make some more blocks, if I believe it convenient I will tell him as I made it with images.
