heheeh another silver-spoon baby

sorry.... not to make fun of you, but what would the benefit be of having 7 microns worth of silver in-between the core and an ordenarry 7 cazillion micron thick chunk of copper. If it is looks, Then I am 100% agreeing with you, they do look pretty sweet indeed, but the only way silver will give you any kind of benefit (performance wise), is if it's a solid chunk of silver, coated with 7 microns of silver [DOH!!!]

#Rotor in first time it is looks but with the silver plated the contact surface is more fine why one not silver plated. It benefits the thermal transfer .
Nevertheless I adore the color of the silver and of the chromium.
Harley Davinson powahhhhhhhh

This way I think it...

Very nice workmanship and polishing.

How has your performance been on the sunburst/flower petal CPU block?

In looking at the Nb & GPU blocks with the center circle in them, is there any flow through that center ?

Pritorian is very simple, you think of a model and try to carry out it. Best or mid performance is your model and it cannot remove it anybody.

YiorgosX for polish the plexi your need sandpaper waterproof of diferent grits.
Once sanded you rub with a cotton cloth and he compoud of polishing. Like this:




With patience you will get finishes as this:





My dual channel flow indicator. This is my first work in plexi,the experience is gotten building, I learned how this way to work him me.
It has manufactured it for two years but not yet I have used it.


ChrioN I don't understand their question.

Quote:

I suppose then:

The screws don't lodge in the cover because there is not space for it. Then they should be outside. This is a "milimetrical "work

Blackeagle in my last article you have one table table with the diferent permormance between my Ketcha-nel ( sunburst/flower petal CPU block) and my Ketchak Nº4. The heat disipation is calculated with the GORK´S OC Tool. Good or bad calculated is my reference for my test.

Nop, this center is the results of the tools used. Not flow through that center.

Hmm... probably a little late for this then... but have you considered cutting the centre like you did with the ring surrounding it... seems to me that if you did it would likely improve performance...

<shrug> just a thought

Cutting the center the liquid would take the road but simple, the central , and I want that the liquid of a small rodeo. It is my thought.

Ketchak, usted ha hecho un trabajo excelente en los bloques. Sin embargo pienso que debe haber poco un flujo en el centro. Usted puede considerar el pasar de tres rajas a través de las paredes del centro.

Perdone mi traducción por favor, yo no son eso bueno.

Ketchak, you have done a good job on the construction of the blocks. However I do think there should be a little flow in the center. You may consider putting three slits through the walls of the center.

GREAT.
Now that pic of the flow indicator will haunt me while I sleep...

Simply B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!

How did you manage to get the holes for the fan impellers so clear? Same thing as the edges? What kind of saw did you use to cut the holes?

Is that flow indicator purely visual or does it connect electronicly to a shut down switch?

Jajajaja, MadDogMe I have three traslators and my marvellous English one is the fruit of them

The language is a great barrier for my, I would like to participate more in this forum but...

TheDanMan buena traducción. Yo quisiera la misma para el ingles pero por lo visto no la consigo.
A small step of water for the center is good but I don't have tools to make it.Right now I would not know that tool to use.



Puzzdre for cut de holes I used this tool:



It is for stainless steel but leaves very fine the plexi.

To polish the interior it is the same thing that but smaller.



Gulp35 It is a modding piece created to learn how to work the plexi, doesn't have any electronic function.

It looks like a "hole cutter", with a centering drill bit in the middle.
