Great article from g.l.amour !

I luv it !

No graphs, what a joy ! (*)

Nice writing style.

Certainly after reading that 2mb - 8 mb article :D

nice design, think I saw a similar one over at overclockers.com, wanted to make that one actually but haven't got the time and money for it.

Great article! Very interesting read, it will defenitly come to good use this summer... :)

job well done, g.l.amour !

very clear article, contains some great info there

glad y'all liked it lads, now i'm waiting for some selfmade goodies from you ppl.

I can borrow some of g.l.amour his equipment (thx!), let's see how that turns out this summer :)

ah! live waterblock crafting @ MADlan =)

I can draw a picture for you. =)

nice one.
it's time someone updated my custom-watercooling article btw.

updated? made a new one you mean :grr:

i have an blok of g.l.amour

i tested it once but i took it back of

after the exams i will test it again

btw it is the one with 1 intake and 2 outtakes

greetz

What's the compagny ?? Because i need also copper but only 300*50*15 :D
I'm living in belgium....

i still have 4m of 50x10 if interested (15 is too thick dude, u need 2 halves, it would way 1kg or something)

btw, u'd be hardpressed to find a dealer willing to sell less than 6m, even that would be peanuts for the copperdealers, they are used to handling it by 100's of metres

Great article m8!
Keep 'em coming...

Puzzdre

:p and u keep em coming too m8. i hope the article made clear that those blox wouldn't have existed without primarily you and #rotor.

c u around
g.l.

How can we contact G.L amour the easiest?
I've send him a PM but no response?

Thx

he doesn't check it, I'll send you his info

LGA775
 

I really admired the article. Though am still confused. There are two designs right? One with the plastic side and copper while other both sides of copper?

Also I wanted to make a water block myself. I have the necessary tools (dad's got good power tools) but the problem comes with the LGA775 socket. Can someone pass me designs for that?

Thanks.

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)

why don't you PM one of the guys from this thread ;) :

i will answer anything you want too know ,)

What's the deal with the birds and the bees?

make that flowers and bees :^D

(... with the birds and the bees and the flowers and the seeds? ... ;))

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?

idd, and its not milled its "drilled and dremeled.

like i told in the other topic, just send mail with your systemspecs and what you had in mind.
kickass or low performance:p
good flow, less mass, big block, small one...
;)

Help me here too. I wanna make one for LGA775. Any designs in mind? Avoiding caps really is a tuff job you know.

I am making this for Intel D915GAV mobo. Though Intel doesnt like OC but i wanna make it just for practice. My aim is to get this on ABit mobo (the new 925 fatality).

from what i found is thats not that hard to make a block.
Intel:

can you measuse the size of the socket (outside sizes)

LGA mounting holes

designs aren't 100% correct but if you want i can make them @ correct size

:ws:

blocks using the #rotor design outperform the majority of the commercial waterblocks out there. they result in a larger pressure drop though

the model you've got there is an old fashioned one, (dangerden maze 1 & maze 2). don't expect really great performance. the same might go for the #rotor block explained here, I haven't visited the procooling forum for ages so I don't know how it might have been improved in the meanwhile

i guess he was wrong because on 3.8 ghz on my p4 i had temps you couldn't imagen
old fashioned?
dunno what you mean :rolleyes: , maybe out of hype?

just wait and see the results ;)


and yes i take this personal because all the effort we done on our blocks.
and yes the are low performance:^D

jort, thanks man.

If you have time, do pass me the accurate designs.

Also, i am working on water pump (yes, i am making myself). I am going to use Car's WindScreen washer. ;)

Thanks again jort.

Useing a car's Windscreen washer pump is nice as mod. But useing such a pump as fuel pump for my RC airplanes, I know it will make to much noice to have a silent an cool setup.

well, i sent you an e-mail jort, but haven't gotten any back yet, anyhow, in case you don't use your e-mail, here are the specs: it's for a p4 1.7Ghz "Willamette" Socket 478, so as said, it's with CNC, so a lot is possible i think, and pressure isn't that important, i haven't bought any pump yet, so i'll wait till i know what one i would need to get the block, and maybe a VGA and NB running cool
