thanks for the advice phide. I wasn't planning to use it for any profit purposes lol. But the school would probably be dismayed that blocks are being created for other than educational purposes at the school. One thing i COULD do is convince my father to start a new "project" at the school, design a cpu waterblock XD. I doubt the school would want to have any waterblocks other than ones created by students. However, if you guys can design and test them, and make sure you send them back, my dad can use them as 'teaching aids'. I can't pay shipping, especially for the heavier 1lb blocks. I'm a high school student about to goto university 0.o. So basically, i can't machine any blocks for you, but i can test out any design you want. within constraints of the CNC of course. Guys one thing i'd like to know though, is how well my virtual windtunnel program predicts turbulence in real life, and also, is it better to have high velocity flow or to have high turbulence flow? That way, i can put out designs and test them without having to really set them up. I'll post all data recieved and also any correlations with my wind tunnel software. Hopefully we can find a ideal balance between turbulence and flow rate. I'd also have to design it in aluminum, copper is much too expensive for testing purposes solely. *edit* i might end up using copper anyways. I think my heatcore for my testing system is copper. Galvanic corrosion doesn't seem appealing.
