My DIY waterblock.
 

This is my first post here.

I just finished my new waterblock.

Here's a picture of the block before joining the parts. You can see the swirl-channel.

I'm gonna solder rigid copper pipes to the two holes. Eventually the whole system is gonna be one-piece from copper. :D

My radiator is a 180x160x50mm heatercore.

Very Nice! Let us know how it performs when you have everything setup. Is that a Addtronics 6890?

No, it's an Aopen Hx-08. To be replaced with a wooden case. I will custom build the one-piece cooling for the wooden case. :) Have to make the pipes so they can be bent away slightly from the CPU slightly in case hav to access it. :)

I take it you soldered the top plate to to the bottom plate with the channels on the waterblock? Very nice.

I have the same heatercore :D

VERY Nice finish on the block, Cant even see any seams...

Ja den er fin du :)

Hvordan fekk du kobberen så blank?

First I sanded each side on a glass plate with some 220-grade sandpaper on it to even the sides out. Then I lapped them with progressively finer paper and finished with 1200. All surfaces except the bottom were polished with some steel-wool.I have never tried steel-wool before but it worked great! :)

I made myself a little nanoblock-wannabe. I'm not sure if it's wide enough for the AthlonXP as I don't have one. It's 11,2mm wide and 24mm long. If it's too small I can use it on my K6-3 instead and make a new one for the AthlonXP I ordered. :) They're really easy to make.

I'm going to make a clip for it later.

Here it is.

Here it is next to a K6-2 and my other waterblock.

Man those are some great looking blocks. I wish I had the resources to put something like that together.

where can I find more information on the genuine nanoblock? google isn't helping, and it looks like a good idea to me

OCWC's page is http://www.overclockwatercool.com/waterblocks.html , but they just give a pic of it and stuff.

its really really great seeing that there are serious h2o cooling addicts from the north european countries!

as I am from sweden i just feel extra happy about your projects !

lycka till !

Det finns fler av oss :)

I Imagine that means "finns kick ass"
but I'm guessing... ;)

Hehe! :)

It means "there are more of us" :)

finns=exists (but this sentence doesn't translate well directly) :)
