can you scan it or take a picture of the drawing? that's how I send mine to my engineer buddy!!!:D

no , no scanner and my brother pawned the digital camera i attempt to draw it in photoshop its a bit confusing , it looks like an optical illusion when you look at it.

here ya go :)

8-ball, good idea there. for the completely watercooled person you could work that into cooling the hdd's as well, without losing flow rates too much.

Scythe, I love that design, maybe jaydee/fix will feel like making one

Dude that rocks!!! A duel outlet spiral. I will see if i can make up the code in the next few days.

i was just thinking , cut the passages in have and leave a fin down the middle of them to double the surface area and maybe if you wanted or htink it would help is to add the inlet in the center and have the fin cut the water and spirel it out to the two outlets outside have like a t connect or somthing split 1 hose into two for the outlets

I think you will run out of room. I don't have tooling to do those small passes. Maybe Fixittt can figure that one out. Might make a good addition to his original Spiral.

yeah, I think the centre channel is probably getting to be a little too much now...

ok hey i guess we found our medium didnt we :) what ever works

I am picking up a drill press tomorrow and will start using it to do all my drilling being I am tired of changing the collet to the chuck on my mill. It isn't easy on this mill. I found a nice 5speed drill press on sale for $40.00!!! Was $80.00 I hope they still have them in stock when I get there. That will make drilling the mounting holes easier because I can make a jig to get them perfect everytime with the greatest of ease. I think this block is going to do pretty good. My expectation are high. ialready milled out the two side outlets spots aswell. i am first going to use them as in and out, and then I will put a center inlet and the other as the outlet.

...

The split flow spiral Scythe posted would take right at 2" as shown using 1/8" channels and 30mil wall thickness between channels, a .375" center circular chamber and an outermost wall thickness of 67.5 mils ;)

Even if you don't split the channels in two, the concept of splitting the flow two ways is a good one. Maybe later I'll do up a drawing and show why from a thermal standpoint...

(wanders back off into the blue)

if someone makes my block and if it have some nice decent performance i will buy it off of them :)

That is what I was thinking. I only have 1.5" to work with and still be able to get a seal around it. Maybe 1.75" If I push it. a 2" peice pretty much maxes out my vise for the mill anyway, not to mention 2" wide is just right for Socket A boards as anymore and you will have to mill the bottom of the block to fit around the hump on the end of the socket.

have you thought about taking out a couple of mm for that hump thingee on the socket lever action? I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard. Then you have 60mm to play with

that is still my fav one so far

I can't but maybe Fixittt can. My vise only opens 2" so that is as wide of material I can get in there. I don't have the travel on the table to do much morethan a 2" peice anyway. Fixitts mill is larger than mine so it should work on his. I also like that first one!!!

haha thanks im really glad people actually like my idea and are interested , maybe i'll come up with an even better one later since i'll be on the toliet all night the steak i ate for dinner JUST doesnt want to go quietly. toliets a good spot for thinking.

the best thing about your idea is that you can run it with just one inlet and one outlet and it would still perform fairly good.

Also, it wouldn't be too hard to mod one to have 2 inlets and 2 outlets, with all the water flowing through the centre

i hope someone makes one or a bunch. id be making one right now if i had the tools

hehehe, I would think about it but I need to finish the 3 new designs I have already started!!!:D

no pressure no pressure *sprays jaydee with a hose*

i can finish the two Al ones by this weekend but the Copper one will take a few months.:( I need new bits for Copper and they are not cheap. I don't want to drop the cash untill work picks up more stabily. Al bits are cheap though. I just want to find a 1/64" one to do tiny fins with.

i really wish i had mill ,id probaly get 2 done a day since , um i dont do anything all day sleep till 4pm then get on computer hmm maybe i should get a job....nah. seriously dont rush it

ehh, forget the copper versions, do them all in Al, until you find a design you can't beat, then do that one in Cu.

Also, a 1/64" bit would be awesome, I'm thinking dynatron 60 fin heatsinks right now

:eek: :eek: That would be damn cool but i don't think my mill has it in it. It would take hours to make just one and I would fry my motor!!!:D

I still havn't figured out how they mass produce those one peice HS's.
