Is that what was used for your block? Fixittt says 1/8 (3.2 mm), because 1/16 (1.6 mm) is too small for his CNC: Special high-speed CNC would be required.
MadDog: I haven't done away with them, this is Utabintarbo's interpretation. I haven't checked to see if this plexi configuration can withstand any stress (i.e. the big 2 inch hose clamp), but it looks good!
The ratio of the area between the 1/2 tube, and the 1 7/8 tube is pretty small. Yes I did check it, and it's not a problem. I don't care how fast the water exits, I just want a 1/2 inlet that's as unobstructed as possible. As for temperature differential, given the flow rate, the deltaT between inlet and outlet will be pretty small, so again, not a worry.
Yes' it's a new outlet scheme. I'm hoping it will catch on. That would be the least of my contribution to the watercooling world!
It's certainly an improvement over BladeRunner's video card cooler, with 3 tubes in, and 3 tubes out!
