Kayls CNC machined cpu/Gpu pots

CNc machined pots, first run for tests :D

CPu tubes copper base weights 866g and the aluminum tube is 470g

Mount plates not made yet though.

I did a mock up on my P5K board, it doesnt look like theres much room but for the SLI boards (Striker, eVGA, etc) there is much more clearance between PCI-E x16 slots around 85mm compared to 63mm on this P5k.

im gettgin duniek to make the cpu mount plates (same as his ;) )

Think you messed up with that last photo kayl.
These pots fit easilt between SLI cards on an SLI board (unlike the one in your photo)

thanxs T_m, i fixed the post now ;)

Pure p0rn Kayl

i recieved my kayl gpu pots today, very seckzi,

just the weight of copper in the base is awesome, there is a good 1-1.5cm of copper between the gpu plate and the internals of the pot, so it should handle high heatload of 8800 and the swing of ln2 well,

i think kayl made a good decision with the copper/alum hybrid, the alum shaft has nice thick walls but is also light so doesnt add unrequired weight to a part of the gpu tube that isn't required for temp control,

i took to the gpu plate with brasso and it came up a treat, a great mirror finish, ill be testing this pot with 1-2kg of dice on tuesday (any more than that and ill be up all night benching) to see how it improves the clocks of my 8800..

all in all these pots turned out great, very happy with the design and aesthetics, performance will be measured on tuesday night..

great work kayl

now you've got an unbeatable arsenal of cooling methods to offer

great gear indeed :clap:

thanxs guys, pro cant wait to see the results

Hey Kayl, what's copper cost over their per kg?

im not sure $ per kg, but the 50mm copper square stock was like $460Aus pr m and round copper stock 62mm was around $560. copper just keeps going up in price damit :down:

i recieved my kayl pots today, shined up the gpu plate a bit, here are some high quality photos for anyone interested,

I used one of my GPu phase change blocks and drilled a few holes in it and brazed it into a copper tube.

Looking good ;) and i understand why you cant wait :D.

How do you thread the base and pots? Is there a tool or is it milled on the cnc machine?
