Phuzun: I don't quite get what you mean.
Hara: I don't know, but I'll certainly try. I don't have the knowledge, nor the tools to accurately optimize the design, so I'll do it the old fashion way: make multiple iterations and/or mods.
GTA: I'm still negotiating with FakeSnake for a build, but I've also asked JayDee116 if he was interested. Maybe I just burned my bridges here :shrug:
Utabintarbo: The only progress I can't report (but will anyways) is that I was successful in calculating the pressure drop for LiquidRulez's top secret block. Since I can do it for him, it means I can also do it for myself
. I have yet to run the flow test, by drilling 4 * 1/16 holes in a cap, and seeing how the pump will behave. Since I now have a flowmeter, I'll be able to get a (relatively) accurate reading, except for the pressure drop of the meter itself
which is still unknown, because the flowmeter manufacturer has yet to provide me with the pressure drop curve
I haven't spent any time finishing the res (for the block), but the new/revised airtrap is almost complete. I'll be able to test that, hopefully this weekend.
On related topics, also under construction are:
the HDD block
the (revised) airtrap
the PSU array
Also, I received the sample of Silkolene ProCCA, thanks to Bruce, from
www.CoolTechnica.com, one of our sponsors. (Thanks Bruce!)
I also ordered the heatercore, #2-304. Pic can be found
in here.
