Hi everyone.

I've been pointed over here by members over at 3Dgameman forums...

I am intrested in machining my own waterblock, but there are several things I need to ask first...

On most commercially available water blocks, there are only two barbs, a inlet and a outlet. However, on some member's designs here, I see that they have 3. What is the purpose of this? Is it to increace turbulance of the water?

Also, with so many different designs, which is the easiest and most effective to use? I have only a limited time at the machine room at school before I know I'll piss the teacher off so I need to get everyone well planned and finish the block quickly...

Thanks in advance, everyone!
