Building own waterblock

20th May 2003, 21:11

I would like to build a waterblock for my cpu.
But my God, where can I find some copper ?
I am from Aalst, went all the local stores (homemarkets) off.
Does someone know a store where I could find some copper nearby Aalst ?

This would help me a lot.

Look around if you can find a milling plant.
They might have a couple of leftover bars for you.

Nothing that I know that's near your area.

I've got a zalman heatsink CNPS6000. See the link for details.
http://www.zalman.co.kr/english/product/cnps6000Cu.htm
As my first watercooling project I will try to make a box around this heatsink in 'acryl'.
It is a fine heatsink for aircooled AMD. This heatsink got so many an thin fins and a fine base.
So I was wondering what if I could run some water over it?

I will regulary post the progress but if you got hints, trics, etc..
They are welcome.

I wouldn't encourage that.
This coolers is to big to cover completely and still have an effective flow over the entire thing.

H²O cooling works too differently to use the same heatsink. Especially with zalmans.
