Dam! 90% of those blocks are unknown in the US anyways. I also think they based their ratings on a weakass pump. Least they could've used was a 1250 and a larger rad . They're full-o-crap
Yo nikhsub, I luv that machine!

where can i see it?
3-barb Cascade SS
The XXX will externally look much the same as the 3-barb SS.
Internally it packs 149 jet/cup pairs into about the same area as a US 5c piece (i.e. a nickel). Grab a nickel, take a look at it, and imagine fitting 149 jets in there, each individually machined and carved out of a single piece of polycarbonate.

Those are the pics...thanks for reposting them...beautiful!
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Actually this is my favorite picture, mainly because it took about 3 hours of work to achieve the finish on the two bases.Originally posted by TheDude

thx cathar
he got them for free though. the stuff transfairs heat around 50% better than copper! im sure theres some cheaper ceramic wich has almost the same heat transfair capabilities though.
cathar, how do you get that finish on the blocks?
Hmmm perfect mirror finish embodied
I wonder what would be the price of one block if produced en masse?
Wow Cathar....I haven't seen that one before! Sweet!
My block is still working hard and cooling great!
I'd love to have one of those new silver and nickel ones!

No, no plan to use ceramics, etc.Originally posted by saaya
so did you plan to use cermaics or carbon-foam? there is a diamond foam a guy from austria made 2 blocks with. the diamond foam is extremely expensive (1000$+ for a 40x40x5mm plate iirc
he got them for free though. the stuff transfairs heat around 50% better than copper! im sure theres some cheaper ceramic wich has almost the same heat transfair capabilities though.
Here's why:
Predicted thermal resistance of Cascade design due to material used:
Copper, C110 (380W/m-K): 0.028
Silver, Pure (420W/m-K): 0.025
Diamond/Carbon Ceramic (600W/m-K): 0.018
At ~40% better thermal conductivity than silver, then we're talking about a total C/W difference of around 0.007 for a design like the Cascade, or about a 0.7C difference on a fairly hot bare-die CPU under load. The cost of the material doesn't really justify the gain. Seriously, I'd just buy a Prometia instead. At least for silver, it looks good. Anything more than ~$100US on materials is basically pointless given the alternatives for superior cooling.
The XXX is just an experiment - just to see really how far waterblocks can go, especially for overclocking. I've already shown that the Cascade SS can be used to match a Vapo PE for overclocking. I'm still of the firm belief that adequate CPU hot-spot management is the trick to enabling water-cooling, which seems like it wouldn't have a hope in heck of competing with phase-change, actually holding its own very well and especially under very high heat loads.
well you dont need an entire base of that cermamic, a plate of 4 times the size of the core would be enough and from what ive seen so far it doesnt seem to be hard to implement the ceramic into a copper base plate.
do you have images of the hot spots of a cpu? would be interesting to see. i wonder if most of the heat is produced in the middle of the core or on some edges. i think intel released a set of images showing the hot spots of nw compared to prescott.
Ooopsie, forgot to praise it properly
Seriuosly, Cathar, your love for the thing shows here in it's full glory (no sarcasm here, really admire outstanding workmanshipd and sleek design)
Cathar, I don't think I've ever been more impressed by anything I've ever seen before. Truly amazing...and I want one....now.
Btw, you have a pm. Thanks.
