![]() ![]() Okay, basically i've built this block on quite a few ideas. First, let me describe the block. It will be approx. 10cm x 10cm for a P4. The size can be adjusted. Second, it will only be 1/8" to 1/4" thick (jaydee116 gave me the idea), with (hopefully) a 1mm base plate (Cathar's idea/philosophy). Third, when the water enters the block it will go through a + shaped impignment (Cathar's idea). It will then cool the pins in the center area. The incoming water will force the water to be pushed out of the channels, which will turn sharply into a "basin". Then, it will empty out. Tell me what you think of the plan, the picture up there is for giving you an imaginative idea, it is a "crude" concept.

You needn't extend the microchannels from the central area.
You only need to cool the central area. The central area is also too small. Another thing, connected fins dissipate more heat, look at the radius simulation. Micropin blocks have been exausted now (look at #rotor's blocks)

Hara's right: if you have the time and the tools to make that design, you can do better.
Otherwise, I think it's an excellent idea. Very original, with a simple and convenient one inlet-one outlet top. Just tweak it a little bit more ![]() |

I've got a name, inspired from car racing, where the track narrows to limit traffic: "Chicane".
("Criss-Cross" is just too cheesy). |

thanx for the ideas guys, i came up w/ another design.
![]() I'm not trying to copy Cathar's idea, im just trying to build off of it....

forgot to describe the block. first, the water goes through a | shaped nozzle, rathar than a + shaped one. Then it does follows the channels down until it angles sharply then empties into the "basin" where it then leaves the block.

It's still unnecessarily flow restrictive.
Keep at it! |

Wait, connected fins = less surface area = more dissipation?!?! and, what do you mean when you say that micropin blocks have been exhausted?

The continous fins allow more heat to travel up from the baseplate, which give the coolant a chance to take it away easier, because without fins, it just couldn't keep up with the concentrated heat coming from a flat baseplate.
The #rotor block and variations work well, but their main advantage is that they are far, far easier to build than anything else. They will never beat straight continous fins, but they will always come very close. The design you are proposing involved the use of a CNC machine, and if you have that (or access to one), you ought to get passed the #rotor block design. I think you're almost there. Maybe you want to take a look at Cathar's design thread, in the OCAU forums. You can also take a look at my block right here: Radius. |

A CNC is a computer controlled machine that can move an endmill through a specific pattern.
How were you thinking of making this block? |

most likely CNC, but i'd give it to a machine shop to do the work....me and power tools DO NOT MIX. also, i have two designs which will be heading your way a little later....

what I might suggest, is actually a well proven engineering phenomenon. It goes by the catchy acronym K.I.S.S not implicating stupidity in any way, shape xor form. ![]()

Although a cool name for the first image would be "MobiusX".

I suggest. "Rev X" Chicane is good, however it is also a techno group. Good music. Ray-X or X-Raymond

If I were going to use this design,Id get rid of the sharp 45 degree angles and use fillets instead....maybe 1/2"or 9/16" ones so that you dont have so much Cu in the center of the block
Should help a bit with restriction. Pretty decent job for your first design(assuming that it is) |
