Al Rad design
I'm just doing a bit of redesign for my system and decided on a dual loop, one loop Cu/brass for the cpu. the other Al for the gpu and hdd. I want to get away from mixed metal so this means an Al rad. Also space is fairly tight so it has to fit into a small space. I'm currently thinking 160x90x100mm including fans. I have this preliminary design for an Al rad, let me know what you think, better designs, existing products etc. ;)

those dimensions REALLY dont look anything like what you have modeled
but i have a cool Low pressure Aluminum radiator if you want it perfectly fits 3 92mm fans same one on dangerden: http://dangerden.com/mall/radiators.asp "5 1/8" x 11" Low Pressure Drop Cooler" |
those were max dimensions, that fits the 160x90 and is thinner so would fit. An 11" rad is far far too big. 160mm max length means 6.5" max, not 11" :p
Also I've scrapped the idea - going to run radless in the second loop. |
Danger Den sell a 4x6" Hayden-style stacked plate rad that is less than 2" thick with two 80x25mm fans zip-tied to it. I've got one keeping a T-Bird 1400 at 49C (with a 250gph pump and OCWC polyblock), so it should be more than enough to cool your gpu and hdd.
[49C (ambient 29C) might not be that cool, but it's so quiet the sound of air movement in the apartment a/c is louder!] |
why not make up an Al box that is 60mm x 60mm x 20mm, and solder it onto the back of a normal socket hsf.
the rest of my idea should be fairly easy to figure out |
i had that idea in the back of my head, but i did't know if it would work.
|
As noted I decided not to bother, I might do something though, if I need more cooling. Will keep these ideas in mind. :)
