Default Re: GPU Project Block

If it helps any, my 6600 has the same holes as the gf4 and FX cards.

I think the angle in the top should be just fine, theres not much around it unless you can tilt it up and just cut it at an angle, I really think its not something to be conserned about, it'll only aid in flow but might reduce the performance.

Tapping the 3mm plate wont be hard, the hardest part is getting the tap started, but like I said, make sure to start it from the bottom of the hole, flip the part upsidedown and start from the bottom side, that way you make sure you have good threads at the part that needs it.


What kind of mill do you have to make this on?
Oh, I see your using a cnc, you could easily angle the inlet, just set it flat, and get a ball end mill and ramp it in. preferably drill it beforehand so it can go strait down, but also out and around. You can even ramp a flat end mill if you want. If you need help programming, I have had lots of experience programming by hand.
