breakdown of a cpu water cooling block?

[AMD64]

Hi all

 

i am interested in having a go at making my own wc cpu block but im not sure in whats needed

 

of course there is the metal bottom ie copper

and a plastic upper with hose fitting on it.... But is that really all there is to them?

 

i work with cnc machines so i have all the machinary needed

 

thank you

Thats all it is mate.

 

I iam trying to find an old block so i can take some pics.

 

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

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

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.

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.

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 <_<

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)

25 liters? Do you have a fish tank there?

That's a lot of water, but an interesting way to transfer the heat.

if you are making a water block remember the more surface area the better but you cant sacrifice flow rates lot to think about

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?
