volcano 7 conversion to water block

Graymatter · 10-02-2003, 06:45 PM

I have a volcano 7 heatsink and would like to convert it into a water block by possibly soldering casing over the top .
I thought of going to a car wreckers and finding some sort of casing I could bolt over the top but this would probably require major modification to the HS.
Any ideas has anyone already tried this can anyone think of a better method other than soldering.
How effective would this be?

Still no takers I might just sell the volcano and put the money toward buyiing a premade cpu block .

have a read through my thread.

tiny fin hsf converted to water cooloers

i converted 2 types of tiny fin copper coolers to water coolers.

best thing to do is lower the fins down to 4mm and cut away to leave a 30x20mm area ofer the core.

hope this helps
