I am trying to duplicate some of what blade runner had for his 5900 waterblock, but with a few twists.

First I use some digital calipers and created a model of my 5950 in trueSpace3 (free from download.com, or search google)

The model is here if anyone needs it:

The twist with this project is that I want to take the water from the 5950 Ultra, down to the SK8N northbridge, under the AGP card, then back up to cool the backside DDR.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This complicates the flow layout and fitting location a bit.

So far I want to use 8mm puch fittings, with a 90degree fitting for the exit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The block will be CNCed out of one piece of copper (Besides copper lid)
The botton will be even with the GPU, with extra drops for the DDR chips.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any other ideas?
