Nice. They remind me of Swiftech's aircooling.

You should run some tests to compare it to your other blocks.

[Kosmic71]

Dang, that is rusty!! :eek:

Dang, that is rusty!! :eek:

lol when finished it wont be dirty, all nice and shiny eh pietach ;)

looking good, interested to see how the final piece performs compared ot your others

[Necromonger]

Pietach, did you use copper to make that water block?
Could you post your results after you test the block.

[Pietach]

the whole block is made of copper. After each stage I will present new photos. When I finish, I will give you the results

[Special_K]

wow - this will be very interesting to see

some hardcore lapping required there eh =p

Very Nice. :toast:

Now it also reminds me of Swiftech's watercooling blocks. ;)

[MaxxxRacer]

Nice work there man.

[jellybeard999]

Nice work there man.

from the avatar id go with woman :P

nice work... how did you polish / lap it ??? i am doing the same at the moment to a custom made NF4 northbridge block, externally... get it all shiney :)

[MadMikeSS]

I like the design idea, but I would be a little worried of water leaking out the seams between the pieces of lucite and between the copper base and the lucite. Are you planning on designing some gaskets into that?

[STEvil]

looks nice. put the fitting on the side and instant GPU block ;)

[Craig]

Very nice, will be interesting to see how this block performs vs your other design.

I'd bet on this one, but still interesting to see how both do.

:toast: Nice to see someone doing block designs. :toast:

[BRiT]

Wow. Really turned out well. :cool:

[harpyboy]

nice work !! how did u get it so polised up ???????

tell us how it perform ..... quick......

[Special_K]

Nice idea ;) And a very nice block! Wish I had the skills to make something like that :toast:

[Pietach]

when I finish it, it will shine nicely
PS.
I apologize for mistake while writing.
I do not it know English.
I use with programme "English translator 3"

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

looks good, but i dont think this would be very good for a high pressure loop or anything, i think some o-rings are defiently needed. maybe a peice of thin rubber above the pins would keep water from flowing above them and improve temps.

[harpyboy]

since it is a custom job.. it will be more prone to leak due to uneven surface.... i say use liquid gasket instead... that should fill up all lines

[teko]

Doesn't have to be uneven because it's a custom job, depends how you made it.. You could polish the plexi to be absolutely even..

[Pietach]

polished

[Pessimisten]

Looks really nice that block
Waiting for results...

[[XC] moddolicous]

Wow, nice job. Cant wait for the results. Anything else u have to do?

[Craig]

Marine or plumbers GOOP sealant will hold very well. GOOP has been used for sealing blocks for years & works quite well.

[fareastgq]

actually, u should just make a track in the copper and lucite for a rubber gasket, that will suffice. if you did all that work, I'm sure it's easy for u to do that. good looking block btw, the oxidized copper on the inside is kinda scary though.

[lilneel12]

can't wait to see results

[Nubius]

yeesh, went from a glob of ugly copper on the bottom to a flat shiney pretty looking base......and to think I couldn't even make my SLK-900A look that shiney when it already started off decent lol

[racinjimy]

unf'ingbelievable

very nice! :toast:
