well, I photo-shopped it, how else do one get -4 C

this should give some hints.....

and that not entirely un-aided either....

Rayman2k2 · 02-22-2003, 08:47 PM

ooo see, that makes sense.

nice peltier action...but why are u using a RCA connector for power?

#Rotor · 02-23-2003, 10:30 AM

was the only thing I had at the time...

what?
U think it can't handle the amps????..... I'm going to have to argue with you on that.... Molex couplings are ten times worse at handling amps...

and I have been using RCA's ever since I used the first one....3 years ago...

granted, there are better connectors out there... automotive has some real nice airtight couplings to die for... but you are going to die a poor guy, if you want them

Just a question, i don't know if you said it before or in another thread, but how deep are your holes and how high is your base plate?

hydrogen18 · 02-23-2003, 11:51 AM

imho it would seem having power on an RCA connector is a bad idea...the male connector is way to easy to short out...

on his website it says that the holes get deeper as you get to the edge.

#Rotor · 02-23-2003, 01:35 PM

I use VDFC which means the hole depth changes, with respect to the hole's location in the block, as well as the intended purpose of the block.... IE. for use with peltiers, or for using it straight on the CPU....

hara · 02-23-2003, 01:42 PM

are the holes connected together finally?

#Rotor · 02-23-2003, 01:52 PM

jip.... each hole connects to the 4 holes around it with a thin slot, cut with a dremmel... so as to create the pins and allow the fluid to get through the block.... actually very simple, the idea, but it works like a charm..... the formed pins are "concave-square" with is absolutely ideal for heat-transfer from copper into water, as it maximizes the ratio between the pins surface & volume. not to mention the increased turbulence as a result of the sharper than 90º corners of the pin....

I know that you use the VDFC because i read it in another thread, but can you at least tell us the dimentions of your largest and smallest holes. I would like to know because I am planning to do one myself

, of course only if you do not mind

otherwise i have to plan something else

Balinju · 02-23-2003, 03:08 PM

and i had another question to ask, i know that al blocks do not perform as cu blocks, but if this type of block was cut in al, would it perform well or it would be a pain in the as*??

#Rotor · 02-23-2003, 04:28 PM

I will recommend you make the holes about 3 to 5 mm deep. Remember that you are limited by the reach of the Dremmel cutting disks you are going to use, so no point in making them 10mm deep..... you won't be able to reach in that far...

the hole diameter about 4mm, which ever is easiest for you... don't worry to much about the VDFC stuff... it's a nice "feature" and all, but to be honest.... even Bill will be hard pressed to prove it to be as effective as it sounds...

even though it is based on sound theoretical principle...

for your efforts, you can make all the holes the same...

Aluminum in this fashion... and I'm once more forced to pimp myself, (sorry)

will probably outperform any mass produced commercial block today.... probably.... this is not a fact... I'm pimping, remember...

one thing is darn sure, making this kind of block in aluminum is easier than cutting butter. Aluminum is the easiest metal to drill holes into.... so yes... on that aspect, it will for sure outperform anything....

Okay, what the heck does VDFC stand for? This is driving me nuts!

Variable Depth .... .... ?????
