Have u seen the video with the cooling system for the Cray X1? Direct Die phase change i believe it was :)

This is sort of pulling this out of the dead, but I just thought I'd let you guys know that I am currently planning on making a Direct Die cooling block and am going to test the reliability of an AMD Athlon XP 1400+ over a 3 month period. I'll reply back with any updates, including the Ambient, Idle, and Burn temperatures of the processor as it continues through the weeks, and any Crashes that may occur. It will be a Gentoo Linux system, so the probability of it being the OS crashing will be lower. I'll let you guys know how it goes, and I'll post 3D pics of my water block ideas later.

Until next time,
Jonathan

Is this without waterproofing the 'fibre~stuff' package in any way?, or is it just the silicone core?...

How would you waterproof the core without thermally insulating it? (And it's silicon, BTW. Silicone is for bathtubs and breast implants :p)

Dont think it´s the core he´s talking about.

Would be the ceremic that surrondes the core i would think :)

i just read this thread and thought maybe this is a little interesting for your direct Die watercooling projects ;)

Its written in German, but i think the graphics also say very much.

Hehe, well i didn´t understand anything of that link ;)
