well the flat cup base even with some of the cup walls broke is now my best performng block beating the thermaltake block by 1C and the maze by 2.5C.
a strange thing happend when i was testing the maze 3 today.
i ran the first tests last night and the maze 3 was 7.7C above room temp (taken from a probe glued to the base of the cpu)
running the same test in the morning without remounting it and it was 8.4C above ambient. :shrug:
can the room temp effect how well the blocks or rads work ?
picked up a 1/16 dill bit today for the smaller tubes i have.
looking at the cascade thread gave me an idea to make a 2mm hole into the lower plex layer through to the copper and then glue one of the tubes into the plastic so when i need to align the jet tubes with the cups i can put the 2mm tube into a 2mm hole in the copper and get it a spot on every time.
also to solve the problem of drilling though the plex to make the drll mark into the copper without the drill bit moving i am going to start with 1.5mm drill. then use the 2mm in the plexi for the tubes after.
as the end mill makes the cups a lttle bigger when i make the cups flat i could make the space between each cup a little bigger to compensate.
bigben2k how does the impingement work on the cup walls ?
