Planning Make your own GPU Waterblock [ HELP ]

Hi! Look at the topic name

Ive allways been wondering how to make your own waterblock, for mobo or for your gpu or cpu.

I take any help i can get, from program, how to get the right dimension etc.
All infromation to make a waterblock.

Regards vreas

 

That's a little too vague. There's a lot of ways to do it. What tools and materials do you have?
Also WHAT GPU/CPU?

 

I mean in general. Whats the procces? Where do you start? What do you need to have before you can start etc?

 

sorry members club information only, come back once you've learnt to accurately Google.

 

This ones pretty sweet.

yes, learn to google.

look at what is out there and what they are made of.

Learn to use CNC.

Use google to figure out what CNC means.

 

that's pure win

 

Please remind me again why you need cnc to make waterblocks?

 

Comes back to bite you!
You want everyone else to look up information for you and then not even a thank you.

Go look it up yourself. It's all out there.

 

Well i guess you don't have to use CNC.

But it will get you a better fitting block with more cooling area.

 

Only 2 helped me, thanks. And yes, i tried to google but no result, so i came here.

 

Better fitting depends on how you can use proper correction factors to modify the dimensional tolerances and how the machine can handle the geometrical tolerances. Most manual machines I've seen do a better job at that than hobby-level routers.

 

WTF, tried google and not found anything?

whats this?

http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&sour...=&oq=DIY+waterbl&gs_rfai=&fp=23e9d7872b349109

whole page of information.

Too start out trying to make a full cover Graphics cooler would be a little bold for someone who hasn't got a clue where to start.

Biggest problem now, is the fact that a decent waterblock made by EK, danger den and other such names can be purchased dirt cheap off ebay for less than buying the materials and tools required to make a waterblock.

Not saying not to do it, its all fun but potentially a waste of hard earned cash if its not completed

 

lol, i didnt say anything about a hobby level router to make a waterblock. I meant a big commercial quality capable CNC mill.

And yes part of knowing how to use CNC is knowing your machine and what it, and you, are capable of.

 

There really isn't a need for a CNC to make a very basic pin matrix (ala GTZ/XT like) water block. All you really need is a steady hand and a Dremal with a reinforced cutting disks.


That's one I made a few weeks ago just cause I was bored and had a 6' bar of 1/4" Aluminum to play with . And cause my sisters she wanted her "new" (my old Q6600) PC silent (had a 120mm Kaze on it lol) and I didn't feel like spending $200+ for a good WCing loop. Total cost with pump,etc is ~$45-50. Leak tested over last week end and no leaks so far. Yes, I realized it's mixed metals, so I'll be using 25-30% EG mix. Will post results later, but a similar block I did managed to get me to 3.8Ghz on a E2180: http://hwbot.org/community/submission/888121_shadow703793_cpu_z_core_2_e2180_2.0ghz_3800_mhz
At 1.72v temps maxed out at ~75-85C.

Currently working on a 3D Matrix water block, works quite well according to CFD sims, but I seriously doubt it is possible to make this block economically due to complexity,etc.

Off to go and finish home work for AP Microecon.

 

This project tops everything IMHO. Done with a pin router.

Here is a guide on Bit-tech, it is quite long but there are useful nuggets if you can bother to read:

There's another on Toms but its not comparable:
