OMG! What did you use to make those tiny channels?!?

Did you consider any kind of fin to channel ratio?

Hehe, If I can push water through that the effect will be very very good, I'm doing flow test tomorrow.
Btw. I'm already looking to some special high preasure pumps

Ok performanse numbers. First I must say the block is very restrictive as I thought (even more) so normal submersible pump can't handle that. That's why I connected the block on direct line high preasure tap water, and open the valve so I got ~ 500l/h Water temp was constant 14°C my tbred 1700+ overclocked to 2700 MHz 2.025V where folding @ home temp was 26°C on Epox 8rda sensor. Results are ~4 degrees lower the with previous Cu block in my regular setup with water temps compensated.
After seeing this I'm very much thinking about using central heating circulating pump with head more then 10m and adjustable rpm's and skip radiator all together and just dig the holes near my basement computer room, lay some copper pipes and have high performanse ultra silent setup. And the room is also on the north side so the ground should remain relatively cool even on summer.

Anyone tried a large, wallmounted radiator, the old fashioned style for heating the room? You know, the 1 X 3 meters, white painted, finned things hanging at walls in most homes.
OK, they´re most likely filled with unspeakable substances from years of usage, they´re made from cast iron witch may cause battery effect. Would there be any point in trying?

I really have to visit Slovenia... The most beautiful women are there, and now some very fine waterblocks as well

Wall mount rads: i'd really like to find an all-copper wall mount rad... would be neat.

Morphling!, could'nt you get away (spacewise) with putting a bigger outlet barb in there?, a 3/8~BSP sized barb would be excellent 5/8 AKA 16mm with a 14mm inner I/D would allow a nice pressure drop to increase impingment would'nt it?. 8mm I/D is certainly too much back pressure!, why not drill them out at least?, stainless will maintane strenght at a very thin wall thickness (it may be sharp enough to damage tubing though)...

Have you thought about epoxy/bonding 13mm Cu pipe in the top instead of threading it for barbs?, the outside profile is simular to a 1/2 barb but with much superior inner diametre...

Gorgeous block by the way , same with the GPU block I saw last (cept I did'nt like the push fittings, minor detail! )...

Have you really submited a Cu version to 'BAd'ams () for testing?, have you heard any feedback yet?...

Impressive, MOST impressive! !

Xtreme good looks and Xtreme performance, best of all worlds! !

Best I can do, still doesn't really do that amazing block justice. And BillA is right, would be sure to sell really well.

BE

edit: For a powerfull pump of high head, how about a Iwaki MD20 rlzt? Expensive, but much less noise than a general heating or home water pump, & 22 ft. of head @ 2.9 gpm flow rate. Or to really go over the top: Iwaki MD 30 rlzt @ 4.6 gpm & 36 ft. of head. The MD 30 would meet your 10m of head goal. Although I have no idea if they sell these in your country or not.

Hehe yes you have to visit Slovenia, and don't forget Croatia, you will relaxed your eyes there too

@MadDogMe, I would have to slightly change the design to fit bigger barbs. Drilling in stainless steel barb is possible, but because my are straight rounded,secure fastening one before drilling would be little difficult, I would have to screw it in some metal block and then secure that one in vise, and then drill through. I may try that sometimes, but I realy can't see much temperature difference with slightly better flow, because even if I power on my second pump which improve flow rate, I can't at least in my setup notice any temp. difference.
As for Bill Adams test, I know I said it some time ago that I will send one, but time, time, time is what I don't have especialy this time of year, I still want to do it and I will but can't realy say when.

@Blackeagle, Iwakis are just wishfull thinking here, no I can't found one. But at least for case setup they are too big for me. But for ground cooling they are good, but for about the same money I can buy Grundfos circulating pump, which at least for me are even better but bigger, but that isn't the problem with that kind of setup

@ChrioN, because I got the chance, why not NB in silver too. I'm slowly (very) putting my second rig together with DodgeViper beautiful double shrouded core together and I'll use silver blocks there.

I'm just wandering how's the issue of galvanic corrosion between silver and copper. Maybe that could be the excuse you need to build an all silver setup?

Thinking about the barbs they'd be a nightmare to drill whatever being SS, whenevr I've drilled SS it's used one drillbit per hole , in light gauge sheet steel!, it'd take ten drillbits to get through those mothers!! ...

You're right I think, jet~impingment does'nt do the cooling on your block, it's purely the thin channels making 'all' the water contact the medium...
