yea, thats why BP needs to come out with there aqua sink, theres that open slot for there GPU block which would work in this case.Quote:

also the dimensions are based off the 4870 since i need a single slot solution for my current build, unless i get some ek blocks... :rolleyes:
edit:
i can always dream right lol
you need to seal the side with the extension and fittings. It is doable but not just like the picture.Quote:

But then it would be gpu specific. You see? your going around an endless wheel like a hamster.
Ok, what am I missing here. These look like they're designed to fit on top of D-Tek unisinks. How would these not work in conjunction with the unisinks? Obviously of course you'd need a different unisink for each card, but that would still be a little better than a completely new block for each card.
:rofl: That's going in the sig for sure!Quote:

Nice renders! I haven't messed with rendering, models and such in YEARS!
i do it everyday :up:Quote:

But i do have access to a CAD machine as well as a 3D laser printer for rapid prototypes.
I am thinking about getting some copper stock and making some custom waterblocks. I want to watercool my Areca SAS controller. It gets ALOT hotter than you would think. I had an Adaptec 5405 and it had a 256MB of DDR2 and a 1.2 Ghz processor and passive cooling. It would shut down within 30 minutes from heat do I made a heatsink for it with a fan

the models are made in inventor which is a 3D solid CAD software
models are then imported into 3dsmax which there i setup and render

give ne some dimensions of the Areca SAS controller, ill have you a
drawing in no time.
thanks for the comments
Great work evil.
One quick question as i have no expertise in autocad : how do i export from autocad or some mechanical drawing software to a file that is needed by a CNC machine.
Thanks.
What? Why the butthurt reaction?Quote:

This is exactly what i was asking earlier ...Quote:

but id probably start doing drawings in CAM so i could export it directly and inventor for renders

The cheapest CNC I would bother with for a @ home business is a Haas Minimill.....~$30K before options.
evil, I hate you....you had to bring up G code, didn't you? I was trying to forget. There are very many machines that don't use G code in some way or another.....and they all use it differently.......AARRGGGHHHH!!!!!! :brick:

Ah, my bad. I wasn't feeling too bright that day. Well, I saw similarities between your proposed block and swiftech's new one (mainly the diamond matrix) so I thought I'd give you the thread for some inspiration. [good ideas, by the way. If I'm not too lazy I want to send you an idea I've been tossing around for a long time.]Quote:

And yeah, the internet has been part of my life for a very, very long time so it's proper to assume that some of the memes from 4chan will seep into my language from time to time. After all, they're quite effective, blunt, and brutal rebuttals.
anyone ever try out one of these? http://www.sherline.com/
small, cheap, supposedly precise and well-built. you just couldn't make full cover blocks... but you could make CPU blocks all day.
Please see the definition of rebuttal (act of rebutting), in particular the second usage. Using a term like butthurt is in no way a rebuttal, effective, blunt, or otherwise. However this is not the place to have this discussion, as it will quickly degenerate into a flamewar and is completely off topic. If you wish to talk about this more we should do so in PM. I can also explain the purpose behind the emoticons and why they are necessary in the context of a text only medium.Quote:

the block is a top designed to fit a MCW60 base :up:Quote:

I certainly made an answer there.
Oh, and just to defuse my post: : P
sherline millls are ok, but it'll leave you wanting more. you'd be better off with a manual mill and then upgrade to a cnc one. A good mill is something like a sieg x3. i just don't trust sherline mills cause compared with some of the mills i worked with, that is like a toy.Quote:

Still, I try not to judge a company based off of their website.Quote:

Most small tool companies have terrible 90s era websites. I think there it is required by law.
being that its such a small mill, a small run might take just all day its not 1/6th of the cost of other machines, its right up there with the X2 Sieg which is a machine im considering and i know that can handle a beating as its very popular and its much larger.Quote:

I don't mind G code, what I don't like is everybody that uses it, alters it to suit their needs and if you have more than one brand of machine on the shop floor, it gets confusing quickly. This is very often the case in many shops and I can tell you that one of the shops I worked at had Chiron, Okuma, Mazak, Haas, and Citizen all using some form of G code and then had 2 Hurco's using an antiquated NC type program language and 1 Hurco using Ultimax II. They should standardize a G code set that everyone has to adhere to , as it is now, about the only things the same on every machine are G0 (stop), G1/G01 (spindle forward), and G2/G02 (spindle reverse)...after that, it's a damn free for all. :shakes:Quote:

There are a few reasons I'm not "thrilled" with my machine, some would be, it's metric graduated dials, really touchy gib adjustment, only capable of ±.002 accuracy and....it's a 3-in-1. I really should have bought separate machines. :brick:Quote:

less jabber, more vaporware renders!!! :D
That might explain why the quality looks a lot better than my 1220XL. :ROTF:Quote:

SolidWorks doesn't turn out renders this good. Will Maxwell Render simply take in a SolidWorks file and be able to render it?
EDIT and your O-Rings are sometimes intricate. Mine are also custom. Should I worry about not being able to get an O-Ring like that? Did you create O-Ring 'channels' for it to fit in? If so, did you make it to where the channel's area was less than the cross-sectional of the O-Ring to compress it?
Is this a universal block? I've been dreaming of this design for ages, please Swiftech or Eddie make this!! Please :up:Quote:

This block needs to be done now, I think Eddie could make this for us, I'd buy one instantly :)
Maxwell does support solidworks directly, visit there site :up:Quote:

but if you base your designs upon a Oring then you will never need to worry

heres a good intro http://www.efunda.com/DesignStandard...ring_intro.cfm
its not that thin, still sits to be .5" the top is .25" which is pretty normal forQuote:
