Its a basic design but a good one. 3/8 and 1/4 barbs though :P

Better change the title. Maybe some of the admins get's pretty mad if they thought it was something else :ROTF:
How do you merge the flow of four 1/4" barbs from the block outlet ? Looks like three Y junctions to me... then why even bother ? The idea behind multiple barbs is to increase flow through the blocks.. and then this guy uses 1/4" barbs :D

i thought those where 3/8 barbs lol.
i think this is meant to look cool, cause it certainly does!

I'll hazard a guess that the actual plan for this block will be to use it as a manifold for a 4x branches of a parallel loop... designed for tradeoff of looks vs performance vs cost...

Mounting holes make it look like it is designed for AM2 or 478 maybe.

I think it's for AM2, but I don't think the block is going to perform very well.

If you follow the link you'll see its for socket A.
Furthermore, it was posted about 2 years ago. I think this makes it a pretty forward thinking design albeit possibly not the best compared to the current mass produced blocks. And of course; it looks beautiful.
provide us some numbers if possible :D

I was thinking the same! The design is just interesting. But the block looks awful y built. :rolleyes:

I like it, without a milling machine, that's some good work!

Nice Work!
My only concern is how are you going to clean it?

pretty nice for using a drillpress

Waste of time. All that roughness will hamper it IMO. I could image that it would have a chance of performing well if milled correctly. But I would think you need a lot of flow to see it, otherwise the GTX is the same thing.
Look at the inlet of the last pic. The diamonds are alot smoother than the previous pics. Those are work in progress pics, so Id assume that similar effort was put into that outside as well as the inside.
Interesting design, I just cant stand looking at those long barbs anymore since switching to EK barbs.

i was wondering how he made the slits for the middle of the block and i just noticed he used a grinder wheel for it cuase the outer edges got the inprint from it

His Dremel must have been crying after all that torture.

yeah I am sure he ground a flat plane off the top thereby eliminating a lot of the roughness of the fins (also giving them the flat tops seen through the inlet in the final opic)
