Hexa #Rotor

-J- · 09-18-2003, 12:17 AM

this weekend i will start making my new block, based on the rotor desing with a little variation.

what do you think of the holes with this setup??

PS: any recomendations for a n00b on #rotor blocks is welcomed.

isnt the shape that the holes make called an octogon

hahaha thats funny

imo the channells look really restrictive, maby smaller drill bit would increase the flow, there seems to be alot of dead space with the large holes/small channels, and you might not get the water flowing very fast againts the walls around the holes
but I like the concept, it's be interesting to see a comarison, adn it's great to see a variation instead of a straight copy

tensor i meant that the holes patern is an hexagon, not all the cooling area.

trit, the channels might be a little widder (they are 1mm wide there, those might actually be 1.5mm wide).
the holes have a 5mm diameter.

I believe #rotor determined that an "offset hole" pattern will not leave enough copper in the water path. Search for answer from the man hisself.

i posted with the same idea earlier. here is a link http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...&threadid=7810

read what #rotor said, it's easier to put the inlet/outlet at a 45deg angle. see my drawing B a little further down the thread. when i checked, #rotor's image didnt work, but his site does up and down like that, so eventually it'll be back up. i am trying that aproach soon. to make sure everything else is kept constant, i am using one bottom and making two diff tops.

i didnt made the vertical channels to avoid the problem your design had maxim.

making only the diagonal channels, the liquid/copper ratio is ok.

i will consider what trit said about smaller holes.
