I don't know what block it uses, I can only assume it's a new one as I just got this. Also don't think the block is doing all the work but more than 50% yes. More mass on the block/base would definately help hold temps within a narrower range.

Well with most dry ice containers alot of the temps are held by the tubing as well as the base
I've never seen one of those GPU tubes before, but it doesn't look like there thick enough to help hold temps really
Which brings me to the conclusion that those temps are almost all from the block
Thats true... but! Allmost every container is brazed. so the tube has nothing to do with heattransfer! only with a solid container you can say that the tube can heatransfer the load!Quote:

a) More mass to offset the heat transfer.
b) More surface area to help keep the block equalized with the liquid acetone/DI mixture or LN2.
Don't get me wrong your tube kicks ass, I just offering some idea's to help make it a better performer :)
yes it does add to teh cooling capacity to add a little length.. Just my blocks are only 1 length
I had a few long ones I did use
Well adding mass isnt always a good idea..!Quote:

Did you notice the temperature differences between idle and load I posted?
Well if its the double of the chilly then it will be to much i think. IF you do that.
I just think a solid tube with a bulb in it is the best cooling for ln2 or di. look as example to the mousepot.
I am also working on some improvmants on the thermal convectioon factors I am gong to start installing a small riser tube connected to teh middle of the bolock this shoud signifcantly improve the load/unload delta.Quote:

That sounds very good chilly, looking forward to seeing your new version(s).Quote:
