Sounds great Martinm210! Black top? I'll take one :p:
I'd be interested in seeing temps on a Quad core as well.
As for the price, maybe around the FuZion's price?

As far as price goes, the lower the better but people will always pay a premium for the best & for custom work. Really depends a lot on how much the materials cost and how much you charge for your time.Quote:

Thanks guys, not sure the numbers will ever pencil out compared to my regular job, but I'll probably make a few on the side for fun anyhow.
It's my goal to make a block that is on top, even if it does take me 20 hours to make one..:rofl: If I could sell a few that would at least cover some tools and materials. Materials isn't that much, it's mostly time..
With two young kids, materials and time can be written off as "Mental Medicine". :up: :ROTF:Quote:

just my thoughts, I am a noob so I don't know much just throwing it out there.
That is just awesome work Martinm210. Keep going! :D
Yep, that's definately coming up in one of my next base revisions. These pins were cut with a 1/32" slotting saw that was a 2" OD. I also tried a 1/64" slotting saw that I could only get in 2 1/2" OD from grizzley.com. It turns out that particular saw was too flimsy and the commercial arbor I had really didn't work for it even on my aluminum test run.Quote:

I will cut a thinner pin matrix, I'm thinking maybe an ultra thin base, like .040 or .050 base with a .070 tall pin. Diamond and a 30 degree angle vertically.
Just not looking forward to another half a day cutting pins and reducing the pin size doubles the amount of work....:D
Martin, I was wondering if you tried making any GPU blocks (not full cover) to compete against the current offerings?
I have not, I've actually been busy amaking P5kdelux chipset and mosfet blocks:Quote:

but I do plan on giving a GPU block a try.
I really do think there is more room for improvement on the GPU side than the CPU side.
At a minimum I'll make a custom top for my old MCW60 base sitting here on my workbench.
Anyhow, I did try a new update on the CPU block too. Just took the block out and milled the base down thinner. I went from about an .085" base thickness to .045". Unfortunately even though the loop isn't settled out, I'm seeing a substantial icrease in temps:(
On the plus side, even though I've now wasted this block base, I may have room for improvement by using a thicker base. Maybe something in the .100" to .150" base thickness is ideal for that particular pin arrangement.
all those block's are sexy!!!
martin your my hero :)
How about an upgrade to the Fuzion GFX?? :P would love to see the block with less flow restriction :PQuote:

damn, this forum makes me wanna buy stuff with the money I don't have!
