Case Mod - In Progress Project : CopperHead: 6/4/09 Orange:

Those memory heatsinks look massive.

I've always liked your attention to detail, so I'm just wondering if your gonna leave the waterblock backing plates as they are now? They'd look a lot better if the corners were rounded etc. They just seem to lack those last finishing touches... BTW do I spy a crack on the smaller backing plate or am I seeing things?

All the heatsinks are a bit over the top for me, but the execution is marvelous on most parts Looking forward to seeing more of this mod.

 

The chipset block and tubing separators are on their way

 

You have a good-eye HaoKi
There is a scratch on the corner of the chipset (smaller) backing plate..

if it was a crack I would have to make another one.
No plans to change the backing plates. I do (generally) like to pay attention to details. But, in this case they will be invisible then the MB is installed. It's all about function..
@fstfrddy : Thanks man.. fstfrddy was kind enough to email me this picture:

just excellent work Fred...

 

Love those tube separators! Awesome! Can't wait to see the chipset blocks

 

want those seperators!!

 

Love those hose separators. Very nice work Fred.

 

Good work Fred, and tnx for the ideas of the backplate!
Noy I need a top plate to hold in place a second hand heat spreader.
Tnx to you, I'll try to make it on my own, so, tnx a lot for the suggestion!

 

Thanks Guys, If you really want those Tube Separators you know where to find me.

 

i say WOW! very copperful

 

WOW!!!!! I am soooo glad to have the internet back! I've had to survive without it for 6 months. I've missed soooo much! I've just spent hours reading the thread from the start! What can I say that hasn't yet been said?

I LOVE IT!!!

It is now 2:20am here and I've got work at 9:30am so I'm off to bed.

Keep up the good work MS.

Box from fstfrddy:

My gear from fstfrddy arrived today:

the X58 (prototype) northbridge Stinger.. I have not had the time to check the fit on my Foxconn MB (soon)..

next to it's "big-brother" i7 CPU waterblock

a matched set..
and the tube spacers:

I am just in love with these

with my "trade mark" Tygon R3400 tubing



IMHO, that is as sexy as hell !!
MUCH THANKS Fred.. Just Magnificent Work...
MS

 

Yeah that looks great, nice work Fred!

 

YES, Fred's work is beyond reproach. I am proud to say I had a "hand" in the design of those copper tube spacers..

GetStung

I need to do more mock-up to make sure the "ChipStinger" fits..Fred made that block off a simple tracing I did from the Foxconn MB I will be using for the project. It looks wonderful, but I sure hope it fits..
MS

 

Tygon and copper, damn, it's sexy!
Good work fred, you are really talented!
Now, MS, I wait to see the mobo popolated with this amazing waterblocks!

 

Oh wow those are nice.

 

that was my exact thought when I saw them

 

excellent work from Fred, I love those spacers but those WC blocks looks damn good.

 

awesome job on those. I see potentialities in those things, Bitspower could sell them, why not?

 

Nice one modsquad,very nice
