We limeys have to stick together Edit: Cant find the block atm but have a look at this If your making one for a I7 860 i would test/buy one Edited December 8, 2009 by Danny_75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD64 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 lol yeah not many around here. we are the best of course though lmao ive been looking at these for the past half hour trying to pick details for them i see the top end of the plate that the water passes through is dimpled to get more surface area http://www.dangerden.com/store/image.php?t...2?1260301242029 http://www.dangerden.com/store/image.php?t...4?1260301887020 http://www.dangerden.com/store/image.php?t...3?1260301950414 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_75 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Ye was going to say that, There more of a male dimple if that makes sence. They stick up rather than in. I was going to make one but you do need a milling machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD64 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 thats np we have a huge milling machine at our place and also. it could also be done with a milloing drill could cnc the shape and drill the dimples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHKCommander959 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 some people use gaskets if you go with plastic but if your just brazing copper on copper then theres no need. Wish I had access to machinery <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny_75 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) The only thing i have found using a massive res of water is i dont need any rads. In my book no rads means better water flow. I have about 25l and it will run 24/7 @4.2Ghz at 40oc max (and thats with me setting the bios the over volt guy) Edited December 8, 2009 by Danny_75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatedmeeting Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) 25 liters? Do you have a fish tank there? That's a lot of water, but an interesting way to transfer the heat. Edited December 9, 2009 by Fatedmeeting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
overclocking101 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 if you are making a water block remember the more surface area the better but you cant sacrifice flow rates lot to think about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulten Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 The only thing i have found using a massive res of water is i dont need any rads. In my book no rads means better water flow. I have about 25l and it will run 24/7 @4.2Ghz at 40oc max (and thats with me setting the bios the over volt guy) If you leave that running in a room temperature room it will eventually heat it; it'll just take a very long time. Unless your 25L Res is made out of something heat conductive (eg aluminum, copper, not plastic), your water will eventually heat up. Is it outside or something?
