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....

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 .... .... ?????

Balinju · 02-25-2003, 11:25 AM

#rotor, i have another question for you before you kill me, how the h*ll do you make the o ring cut in the block using only a drill press??
and secondly, how deep are the cuts made with the dremmel??

thank you

wannabe · 02-25-2003, 12:01 PM

How does the top look before you put it on? And can you post a picture of the holes placed out? That would be very nice!

g.l.amour · 02-25-2003, 12:23 PM

no O-rings ppl, only pure glue

Balinju · 02-25-2003, 12:39 PM

ahh i understand, would araldite be good for this purpose?

thank you

indeed, I do not use oring, I use marine Goop, and I make sure the two mating surfaces are absolutely free of grit, dirt or oiliness, then just with an evenly smeared coating of goop, over the complete mating surface, ( only one side) I bolt the two plates together, and let dry.... in the 3 years I've been doing it like this.... not a single leak from one of my blocks....

Wannabe
Here is a screenshot of the design... I gave you the dimensions of the block, so you should have no problems in scaling to fit.... the holes are for 0,125t (1/8") drill-bits, but you need to be very accurate, the tolerance is less than 0.04mm

have fun.

only one request from you, and any others, that might find enlightenment.... you gota come post some pictures of your artwork....That is All I ask in return... Post em here, or send them to me for my online Gallery, no matter...

g.l.amour · 02-27-2003, 01:56 AM

ey rotor, u want some more pics for that online gallery? got some nice n shiny ones of that half brass half copper situation.

IdimiDodjimi · 02-27-2003, 06:25 AM

Maybe it's off-topic, but where can I get peltier element on the net. I'm living in the middle of nowhere so I'm curious to find where you can get them over the net (and that they ship it to Croatia)

Balinju · 02-27-2003, 09:18 AM

Hey #rotor thank you alot for your help.

about this, i've been making a block, called squirrel. I don't know if you ever saw it's thread. It should be ready by next week and i will be more than happy to post the results. if you want some pics, i will be more than happy to give you and if you want the drawing, i will be happy too to give it to anybody

that should be our spirit

JCYC5 · 04-03-2003, 07:35 AM

#Rotor, would it be possible for you to make a template for me? I use a P4 system...

pokpok · 04-03-2003, 02:38 PM

i think u have to pay him...$55us for plans

#Rotor · 04-03-2003, 06:58 PM

It could be possible yes....

I am willing to make you a template, pre drilled out of Plexiglas, not too dis-similar from this....

but yes, I am going to charge you for it, because you will be getting more than just a block.

it would give you the ability to make about 5 to 10 blocks, (with my blessing) before the template will be too warn out to be accurate any more...

I can and will also include the pre-drill and post drill bits. ( 2 of each)

FRAGN'STIEN · 04-03-2003, 11:25 PM

Awesome work #Rotor. Every time I see some new work from you I get inspired all over again. I'm still running the one I made quite a few months ago and it still performs like the day I made it. I've never had a leak either and I'm on the same "marine goop and screw" seal I sealed it with from day one.

OK, do You use a 1/2" copperplate, giving a base thickness of 7-9 mm or do You use a 1/4" copperplate giving a base thickness of 1-3 mm? Any other thickness of the plate?

regards

#Rotor · 04-04-2003, 06:19 AM

the thickness I prefer is 3/8" for the bottom plate. the top can be thinner, but I usualy make them both the same. 1\2" should work very well to, giving a nice thick base, and still have good sized channels for proper flow.

Eeeh... www.confuseanoob.edu
Checking some other WB designs all seems to go for a *thin* base, 2 mm or less. Yeah, yeah, central water inlet, jet nozzles etc. etc.
Why is a *thick* base wanted in Your design?
