Create your own Waterblock - Page 3

20th January 2005, 21:29

I guess no ones interested.

I have a few questions again.

1. Why did you use so many layers of plexi? Isn’t one or two enough?

2. What did you about the contact between processor and water block? The copper plate isn’t 100% flat so...?

3. For LGA775, I have to avoid contact with caps so I need to make 'legs' for the water block, am I on the right track?

4. Your block is leak and rust proof right?

Any suggestions by any one will be appreciated.

hey, best way to contact the author is to email him, click his name at the top page @ the howto.

this article is close to 2 years sold, so there may be better and more efficient design out there now

1. i think the 2nd plexi you see is with acceleration holes, the first is just a peace(don't know the perpose)

2. the copper is flat, just add some thermal-grease

3. yes you better do that

4. yes it is i guess otherwise he wouldn't use it, and you have to use demineralized and anti corrosion and your system will stay clean

looks tempting to make your own block, but do they perform as well?

Thats something i have in mind. It has to beat atleast the stock cooling of Intel LGA775, which is impressive though. I have to make it to know the answer.

For now only g.l.amour nows the answer but he is 'gone with the wind' ;0)

a mate of me is willing to make me block at school, he's following a metal class, they have a CNC and stuff, so it should be no probem making. Do any of you guys know a good block design, or have seen one lately, as the one in the review is prolly outdated by now?
