new block

simplesid · 03-30-2002, 10:39 AM

I want to make my own block, just have a couple questions...
1) Where do i drill holes (for the 4 holes around the cpu)
2) How thick should the base be (under my channels) i will be
useing 1 inch thick copper
3) How big should the block be ill have a 4" X 4" piece to work with
And any other advise etc you are willing to give or think i should know

Thanx for the help

If you do not have a way to mill the bottom to fit ontop of the socket you will probably need to go 2" wide (to keep the block centered on the socket(socket A anyway)) and how ever much room your mobo will fit long. Mine is only 3". That is the way i like to do it but therer are others that will let the black hang out over the socket father to get 2.5" wide. But that will also depend on your mobo. basically make it ias big as you can to fit on your board. Brad has a good link to mobo holes, he will probably pop up sooner or later with it.

The base is unknown really. No one can tell you that as every design is different. 3/16" or 1/4" is probably good to start with though.

according to dan you're very slightly out rotor

i'd go for 2" wide as well, and make the block as long as you can before it interferes with capacitors, make the base 3/8" - 1/4" thick, 1/4" if it's a big block, 3/8" if it is around 2.5" x 2" in size

FUD! They are not going to discontinue the damn things. Don't believe everything you read, believe it when you see it.

yeah, amd have removed the requirement, but I still think that all the overclocker brands will keep them

That is a giant mill!!! Mine will do 6"X9" or 2.5"X9" in the vise. My mill is tiny!!!

I'm looking at it as I'm typing this....

Tyan S2460 minus 8 little holes.......... the thunder has them, the cheapshit ECS K7S5A has them..... but not my Tiger....

ya I know I'm off by a couple of microns, but that way I can't get sued for stealing there measurments....

or something crap like that... what's 0.09mm on a micrometer anyhow...

besides... I had to dig out a ruler.... way back, to measure them myself, befor all these nice PDF's became so redily available.... and I had to make an educated guess... Am I sqew, is it the ruler that srunk or is that realy 66.09mm.....

JK.
