ok so far i have ordered from online metals

qty description-size price
1 copper 110 h04
rectangle 8.00$$--- Base of waterblock
.5" x 2"
cut to 4"

1 copper 110 h04
rectangle 2.32$$--- Top of waterblock
.125"x2"
cut to:4"

1 stainless T-304
annealed
rectangle 2.08$$ ---- mounting plate top
.0125"by3"
cut to 4"

are the deminsions that i asked for correct? i REALLY don't want to have a .05" wide base thats 2" deep...

This cost me 20$$ and 59cents... im trying to watercool with 65$$ i can spend like 5$max on tubing and about 30$MAX on a pump...
should i use a maxi jet 1200 or a via aqua 1300? both 20$$ each

any good online retailer for CHEAP tubing?

Should i run 1/2 or 3/8's

for a waterblock design i was thinking of doing a multi fin design in a spiral shape does that sound good?

what size screws will i need for mounting the block via 4 holes on my amd mobo?

and last but not least... what are the deminsions of the 4 holes...

[Teus]

a 1200 pump is way overkill, an 800L/H pump will do for only one block. and you'll save 20$ again

[Scurl]

i forgot to add but both the maxi jet and the via are 20$$...

You'll need a radiator/heatercore also. Search the scrapyard.

1.42bla bla bla Inches by 2.60bla bla bla cool cool i suck at paint/graphing/anything but do you think hoots multi pin fin design in a sprial form would kick some ass?

I am still a little confused on this:

qty description-size price
1 copper 110 h04
rectangle 8.00$$--- Base of waterblock
.05" x 2"
cut to 4"

.05" is less than a 1/16"??? No way thats working for a base.

[Scurl]

i met to say .5 or 1/2" rofl could you even get .05 copper cuts? that'd be crazy

[Zymrgy]

About the only thing I would worry about is your choice of thickness on the top plate. If you are planning on drilling & tapping a hole there...1/8" does not allow for very many threads. For myself to be comfortable, I would like to have 1/4" of thread engagement.

just my 2 cents....

also, just curious on how you are going to do the channels in the bas.

[Scurl]

Ive decided that the original design would be too hard so ive decided to go for a straight multi hole design and maybe just do dimples over the core area. My next block will be a spyral with dimples to create turbulance. But for my first one ill just clone a multihole

Eeeeh... attaching file, haven´t done that in this forum before.
Should be a pic of the hole dimensions. Followed a link to Dans Data (I think) from a thread here.
Wish me good luck.

Silly me...
Seems that I got the very same pic from Hara in this same thread.
It *does* help to read all thread.
Well, my intentions were the best.
