    I'm not sure about the merits of water cooling ram, especially the low voltage stuff, but theres no denying is does look soooo good.

    Thanks bulldogjeff :)
    Watercooling ram for users like me is completely useless. But I do like the looks :)

    Trust me... If I received all the packages you do, my fingers wouldn't be the only thing tingling! :lol:

    I love the refitting of the small pieces of the cooling fins! Not necessary at all, but looks beautiful!

    Love this! And everthing else you've done btw! :thumb:

    Thanks guys :)
    By the way not all packages are sponsored Angel.
    Got this one from an RMA ;)
    I'm still practising with these kind of small things, maybe in about 40 years I'll be ready to do things like the WII you did :p
    Congrats on the Engadget article m8!

    Excellent build fella, quick question.. What material are you making the WB out of?
    Been thinking about machining some of my own blocks for my 590s, just would like to know what you think the best material would be really?
    I hear aluminium can cause some problems but if it was cut from premium billet aluminium and then coated would that suffice?
    Thanks

    Thanks!

    Actually no idea if there is some sort of aluminum that you can use together with for example copper.
    Personally I would never go for aluminum, even when it's coated or treated.
    For this block we will use copper, maybe I'll nickel plate it, but not sure yet.
    Tonight I'll drop some pictures of the new solidwork files.

    I might use copper and plate it then, if you could post some cad screen shots that would be good man, I've got some ideas for it.. Il have to post a log when I go to make them. Thanks for your help mate.

    And back to the MarsII block :)

    Daniel has been very busy with it last week.
    Really this guy owns :p

    Copper part done.

    [​IMG]


    While he was busy with this I had to think of something for the POM part.
    Got a spontaneous idea to recycle the red aluminum parts from the original cooler.
    Off course with paint :)

    [​IMG]


    Daniel didn't know what to think of it but we went for it
    Time for me to measure again :)

    And re-measuring. That guy thinks about everything.

    [​IMG]


    And the result.

    Here the renders.

    Only thing he wants from me is as much possible friends on Facebook, so please go ahead if you can guys ;)
    Mr3D a.k.a. Daniel!

    l3p... Wow just truly wow.

    This is gonna sound a bit corny and stalkerish but its because of your work like that on l3p D3sk that I've gotten so hooked on modding and I've started planning my own.

    So thank you for your amazing and inspiring work :)
