CPU block v2 [homemade waterblock][DiablitoStyle]

So.. my first worklog here, im gonna make a new waterblock for my CPU, p4c for now. im not gonna write a hole much, my english kinda sucks

This is my old water block, made it for alittle under a year ago, it works, never leaked and is still running in my system.


This was how it was made (norwegian)


On to the new block.

The mail goals:

Better preformance
Better Flow
Better looking maybe ?

its kinda gonna look like a beefy RBX.. somelike..


Sketchup drawing remember, the block is the DRILL drawing, not the finished block!!



i will ONLY be making the p4 top for now, maybe the A64 top if and when i get that system

The Block will be about 70x50x10mm

markup on my copper plate, 10mm solid.


will use tools like the jiggsaw, drillpress and so on.. kinda normal household tools


what you people think of my first project here ?

 

Ha, got a first post finally.

Your sketch ups are very cool; please go into detail as you go. This is something that I want to make for myself someday.

 

booupbuddha: well, im kinda poor at wrting english, so ill be breef with details. just ask if its something you people are wondering about

a small update of some things im gonna use:


without this, it would have been a 1x in and 2x out block, not 1x in 2x out like the one im making is.


sawblades, very good to cut copper.


the nippels(?) 12mm / 1/4 inch


love this tool, very nice to mark up on copper.

thats it for now no spoilers!

 

some reply would be nice

alittle update again



took about 15-20min to cut the 70x50mm bit out


markup with my beloved tood


marked out every drill hole


Jet plate, about 70x50mm


8mm thick plexi, makred up to fit on my p4


now its ready to drill up and kut out the plexi.


what do y'all think so far ?

 

I think I want to see some cutting

 

I concur (sp?)

 

dude, love the design of that block, any chance of you making me one joke joke

must admit its gonna look schweet!

 

Update time

marked up copper





side holes 4mm


the jetplate is cut out


top-plate cutout



i like to show, not tell

what do you people think ?

 

Just luv homemade wc blocks and yours looks real nice.

Hurry up now - I wanna see more

 

Looking good so far! I'm a big fan of homemade blocks...can't wait to see this in action and see how well it works.

Questions:
1) How thick is your copper base?
2) How far down are you drilling into it?
3) I take it you're going to mill channels across all of the little drill holes?

 

LOL, for future reference they're called barbs not "nippels".

I keep forgetting that I have all of the necessary tools to do this... But it will have to wait until I actually have a machine to water-cool.

I'll be following this thread whether I use the information or not

 

hehe, allright, ill try to remember barbs
nippels are just so... nice to use or something
but really, im sorry, im used to writing "nippels" in other forums in norwegian

Da Dego: its 10mm thick, and ill drill about 8-9mm down in it and i will use the dremmel to cut out channels along it

 

this is the block right now, sideholes borred, and countersunk(?)



more to come

 

countersinking makes them look much cleaner

keep up the good work!

 

getting alitte done

all holes borred og makred out and will be drilled about 8 mm down



using a 4mm titan coated "bor?" (what the name ?)


what do you think ?

 

Titanium coated drill bit.



Good work so far, keep it up!
luvbug

 

thank you my english gets better every post i make

 

drilled out with a 13mm drillbit

just alittle update

any toughts so far ?

 

as stated by all above this design looks very interesting, and ive always been a fan myself of home made blocks. more class then a shelf stacked production line block.

nice, clean and, well planned which also sets the marks for a great mod, and the clearity of the pictures make it even better.

good work diablito.


p.s. im english and have trouble speeling and saying so dun worry =D

 

Thank you

just love my camera!

im gonna come with a little update later today, stay tuned!
