My waterblock with cone

Jackal · 08-11-2003, 02:54 AM

Hi guys (and girls

) I'm following the stories of water cooling for a very long time, so i decidet to make my own waterblock. Some pics:

A pic from the top

And a pic from the side.

The water inlet is just above the cone, which has some spiral channels on it, just to make water flow more turbolent.

It looks like a high flow block to me. I think its beautiful

Be sure and try a large fast pump on that.. will ya?

Well actualy I'm not quite sure. I haven't tested it yet. Currently i'm using some other blok in my main system (simmilar to this one Here
and it performs very good (36°C at full load with Tb B 2100+ @ 2400MHz). You can check put my pictures of that here.

For this block I'm still waiting to get proper water connectors (just ran out of them

). I'll put some results on as soon as I test it.

Oh... the pump I'm using is MaxiJet 1200 (1100 liters/hour). I'm thinking maybe to use Hydor Seltz L30 (maybe even L40 - 2800 l/h

)

Nice work Jackal!!!

Looks like you did a LOT of manual machining. GG!

I doubt I would have the patience for that... :shrug:

Jackal · 08-11-2003, 03:51 PM

Yep.. it took a lot of nerves to do that. And some fine Proxxon dremel

very nice!

Did you actually do a groove for the o-ring without a mill?

I did it first with a dremel and a metal cutting plate, then i replaced that plate with a very small mill bit that had just a small bead on the end.
