CPU block mod to Peltier GPU block for 7100GS

[HaxR3]

Project aims:
To turn an old old Swiftech (I think) CPU waterblock into a peltier waterblock for use in torturing my new 7100GS with voltage.

Specification:
-Maximum 3 slot cooler.
-Should cool well


Starting block:

I will probably be making a replacement top or mounting holes etc.

The coldplate will be a "full cover" block made of aluminium.

I want full cover because I dont want anymore fans in my case.


The peltier will most probably be a 120watt or 172 watt, depends on what I get cheapest.

You don't need the "full cover". If you can make all that stuff you can make ghetto ramsinks :D And that block there is really restrictive...

I've changed my mind about "full cover" , would be too hard to insulate.

I'll be using a seperate coldplate for the RAM with a 30watt pelt on a Thermaltake Aquarius (rev.1) waterblock.


The restrictiveness doesn't really bother me, the only things in the loop will be Pump, T-Line, GPU Pelt Block, RAM pelt block and Single Rad.

The rev 1 of aquarius isn't actually that bad. And for £3.60 I think it was a bargain!

The Aquarius I:
A nickel coated copper, spiral with around 4 loops.

The Aquarius II (worse):
