hey Littledevil and Misco

what about Copper and brass

would copper+alu be better combo than copper+brass or the other way round

**Misko** · 06-09-2007, 01:36 AM

By my opinion it is better to work with brass and cu.

can you please elaborate on that

i am going to buy one of his pots to give it a go and tossing up whether i should go brass or alu on the tube side as he can make them thicker than copper tube (twice as thick as copper one 1.5mm/3.0mm)

i reckon brass braised with copper pot base

**LittleDevil** · 06-09-2007, 09:12 AM

@dinos22: I can tell you thet there is completely no problem with CU/ALU

Ok I did some air cooling moding of Cooler Master Hyper TX, he has cu base, cu heat pipes, and al plate above pipes , aka sendvich bottom: cu>hp<al :top.

Al after some time

As u can see there was oxidation, on AIR only, so in my case better go with brass and cu, when u go from -xxxC to +xxC on the pot will be condensation, armaflex will be wet on some places.... And water between cu/al is bad combination in my cases. Even on air in ome cases it is bad . Thats why I built only solid cu pots

Then I remove it and put AS5 for better heat removing

Nice pot

**Maxxpower** · 07-02-2007, 11:38 PM

thanks mate

i've ordered CU/ALU based pot from duniek.......can't wait to test it out

**LittleDevil** · 07-03-2007, 03:13 AM

D-best

Looks great, I'm in the process of making my own and was wondering what you made the hold down plate out of.

**Duniek** · 07-05-2007, 02:33 AM

nb pot with 50-60mm adjusted hole dimensions

**Duniek** · 07-21-2007, 12:05 PM

new alu pot for GPU

and the new "bullet"
the biggest pot which I built yet

70mm tall and 64mm diameter

sorry for quality

Nice Jobs

can't wait to get my baby
did it go out

**sssf** · 08-01-2007, 11:48 PM

Any idea when you can have some results, so we can compare ALU and CU

**ilkkahy** · 08-14-2007, 10:33 PM

In my dryice tests under 160w load aluminium containers have performed systematically quite bad. Difference between aluminium and copper version is about 20c which practically means that any moderate brazed copper cpu container will outperform those shining "solid aluminium monsters".

I think aluminium has its place in gpu containers because its hard to find square profile copper and making proper brazed copper with small dimensions is bit tricky.

I think definitely better, cause copper has an heat conductance of 401λ and alu has 237λ

**Freddie123** · 08-17-2007, 03:56 AM

What about a solid copper base and alu tube though? What type of difference would that make?

Also, how did you thread the pot?

**NightRaven** · 08-17-2007, 06:12 AM

i think a cu base with alu tube would be better.. the cu could hold the temps well and the alu yea.. imo it has to be either all solid or at least base solid... i've got one comin my way too! Woo!
