My first block looks like crap but performs very well

Last pic is before I changed the insides.

JD how did you cut this in the copper?

Note that is a 1/8" endmill in the pic. The pins are less than 1/16".

I used a Xenetech XOT 16x26 Rotory Engraver.

what did u used to make the base? (the chanels)

SlaterSpeed · 03-29-2004, 01:36 PM

Mill with slitting saw

WAJ_UK · 03-30-2004, 08:13 AM

My first attempt.

It had the large top so I could experiment with different jet heights. The next block will be similar but with 4 smaller cloverleaf designs and 4 smaller jets when I get a bit of time

My ripoffs of cathar's lrww and hydra, made with hacksaw and epoxy.

Beautiful. I love seeing improvisation, I bet it performs on a par too.

2. Micro-channel.

Micro-channel, in.

first block before procooling

leejsmith · 04-06-2004, 01:44 PM

next attemp after some help from procooling

leejsmith · 04-06-2004, 01:45 PM

an amd version with squashed copper pipe inlet

leejsmith · 04-06-2004, 01:50 PM

now using a thermaltake base with more fins that the akasa base also as i made many tops for these to test i used the copper tube instead of barbs. it didnt take long for the epoxy to go soft.

after the block was made i used a belt sander to thin the baseplate down from 4mm to 1.5mm .

leejsmith · 04-06-2004, 01:52 PM

first attempt at a jet tube block this one had a flat 1.5mm base no cups but not enough support when clamped to the cpu and it would bend under the pressure.

leejsmith · 04-06-2004, 01:55 PM

now the fun starts. i was never able to get the balance between tube ID and cups and ran out of time and money to complete so just bought a cascade instead.

more tubes / cups
