Watercooling [AF] Andreoid & finnzwerg highly qualitative watercool tinkering ----> TONS OF PIX

Andreoid · 8 Aug 2011

Hi everybody,...
i am so sorry that i have been away for so long.
At the moment i'm writing my bachelor-thesis in engineering in an automotive supply company.
this eats so much time
So i've not made anything new for computers since a long time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

at july 15th i have finished waterblocks for the Asus Crosshair V Formula.
a user of the "PC Games harware" forum has sent it to me for taking the measurements

Due to my tight schedule due to the studies I have
I again opted for an inexpensive light cover version.
Compared to four individual coolers, i think that this is probably the better solution.

a copper bridge will work again very well at this voltage converters.
This bridge is already proved successful at several coolers. It is very similar
to the Asus Crosshair IV extreme lightcover from 2010.

Unlike to the 2010s light cover is, that the original backplates can be use in continue. So the pressure is exactly the same as given by the original air cooler.

SB cooler has cut-outs for components below the top in the copper .
The recesses were milled in on both sides, so you can chose the position of the connecting thread by rotating the cooler (top and bottom selectable).

SB block

PWM NB combi block (lightcover)

in the lightcover you can screw fittings with a diameter of 22,5mm.
in the little SB block only fittings with a diameter of 18mm

... the cnc has got some huge updates too.. i hope that i have more time soon to translate some more posts

double post -.-

After a long time here again an update from us! btw.. happy new year

I have now successfully completed my Bachelor of Engineering
and now working as a design(construction) engineer in a mechanical engineering company.
Finn is just in the middle of his full-time study of electrical engineering.

But do not worry, although we had such important milestones in 2010, we were not lazy this summer in Anfi-tec!
Have diligently built in our workshop and the CNC milling machine further.
Unfortunately, the documentation is a little left by the wayside but we try to fill these at later times .

Now for the reason of the posting:
we made 5 new waterblocks!

GIGA-SET07 Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC
* PWM 043 Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC
* NBSB 026 Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC
* UCD sb

MSI-SET05 MSI 990FX-GD65
* PWM044
* UCD grande

Anfi-tec ASUS Rampage IV Formula Set
*PWM 046 für das ASUS Rampage IV Formula
* UCD sb

Asus M5A97 Pro
* PWM047
-----------------------------------------------------------

so whats in here?

wow,.. a mother board... Who would have thought that
a Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC, Intel X58

unpacking

designing the blocks as always, the first is the DUMMY from plastic. today in blue plexiglass.

PWM block:

With a copper-bridge and cutouts for disturbing components from the bottom end.

The PWM cooler was by far the trickiest PWM cooler we have developed!

now fully equipped motherboard Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC
with blocks in copper:

Finn has so unfortunately overlooked two to be cooled components in the prototype for the PWMs :

Therefore once a redesigns of the PWM cooler, in which the PWM043 grew a bit.

Never before have we had a cooler that had to be milled out with so many levels.
That's almost been like a graphics card cooler:

NBSB026

MSI 990FXA-GD65

The longest and thinnest PWM cooler from us (PWM044)

the familiar UCDgrande

By this setting here G1/4" connectors can be used as usual.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and some more PWM blocks:

one for the Asus Rampage IV Formula

the new PWM 046 for the ASUS Rampage IV Formula
uses the original screws and the original motherboard backplate of the Board.

As mainboardset with the UCDsb (here only upped the ante without lashes)

how little the water coolers does look on the board when the aircoolers are removed. The airblocks are just show for 70%
see: http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&c...urce=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=2FTuTvioD5GA8gPQgYH7CQ

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now I have one question to you, does the PWM cooler....

....fit on the Asus Rampage Extreme IV, too? cause they look damn similar. The PWM block has a hole spacing of ~ 100mm. If one compares the air cooler then it looks like the PWM cooler can be compatible.

source: bit-tech.net
Rampage Formula IV was at the left PWMs nothing to cool underneath the airblock. but how does it look at extreme?
Also, the SB I'd like to see naked at the "extreme" ... possibly one of you has the board?

----------------------------------------------
for the Asus M5A97 Pro....
