DFI NF4: Good news for all who're waiting for a chipset waterblock !!!

[nigelyuen]

Man - excellent photo, I meant the ZERN but own the same from the pic - and I also had the idea to put GPU into the lower slot but DFI told me that only the upper slot supplies 16x PCI-E.

So do You run 2x ??? Would be important to know for all of us..............

i have thought of that problem, thats why i bought SLI D, so at least i can use 8x if not 16x

zern block? you mean this??

Ohh - didn't see that it is the SLI, now I see You go 8x.

I asked 1 A to give me the hight of this here, the left one:

PIC

And it's 26,5mm - please can You measure the space between PCB and edge of GPU, maybe this one fits - looking good with the tube connectors sideways.

i have found the best solution now
1a cooling block doesnt really fit
iam using the alphacool nb block, but its only G1/8

Hey, nice work man - maybe You're the first with watercooled chipset on that board !!!

BTW, what about the 26,5mm ? Can You measure it, would be interesting if the ZERN will fit......., hope You did see the pic. THX !!!

[nigelyuen]

that zern block isnt gonna fit
my zern is 2cm thick, my alphacool block is a lot thinner than that, and there is 3mm clearance between the block and vga card

THX for help - so I can burry this idea.............

Is that a 6600 card? The alphacool dosent fit with my Inno3d 6800GT - theres a capacitor in the way of the barbs. I think i can make a new mount i might get enough of the block over the nb chip to be effective, and clear the cap!

its x850xt

[stu_allen]

Ah, i see.
After playing about this afternoon i dont think this block will work on a 6800 setup.

[charlie]

good aircooling is probably sufficient for the nB

[Sentential]

wow, wonder if the water squeeks whne it passes through that

Yea thats what i thought. Who the hell in their right mind would use something that restricts flow that badly?

[stu_allen]

good aircooling is probably sufficient for the nB

Except that with 2 pcie gpus in place, it dont get much air. And its noisy (my main reason for wanting to replace it)

No i cant! The base of the alphacool isnt flat, the contact patch only starts about 4mm in, so it wont make good connection.

Who the hell in their right mind would use something that restricts flow that badly?

I would.

when benchmarking, I want every single thing cooled to the absolute best I can cool it, especially when using dry ice.
I have about 5 waterblocks sitting around, that get only occassional use, I have about 6 pelts that get almost no use, except rare occassions.
I have a spare pump... and when I need, I will just get another cheap radiator for one waterblock alone, and use 2 seperate watercooling systems.
when it comes to benchmarking, especially when messing with dry ice, and volt mods, I use every possible cooling solution I can, even north and south bridge cooling...
to me, it's no more pointless then say.... ram sinks on mosfets.

who would use it? I would.

Normally there should be no cooling problem when living in ALASKA...

LOL...thats not what I meant at all. I wholly agree with that Im purely refering to JUST that block.

Who would use THAT kind of block. Cooling is one thing but seriously there has got to be a better chipset block, one that doesnt bring your flow to a standstill.

btw i sink my fets too lol

[uranium]

Here's mine

1/2" inlet and outlet, 2 x parallel 10 mm bore channels connected by 2 x 7.5 mm bore channels. Minimal flow resistance

BTW I'm rather better at metal work than I am at photography

[pissboy]

that block looks good.. check your pm's

Cool!
Self-Made?

[stu_allen]

Nice work Uranium. Fancy making me one?

[uranium]

Self-Made?

Yes

I'd love to make you guys some, but TBH I did this at work (Uni) when other people weren't using the equipment so its not that realistic to go into mass production. Sorry.
Happy to send anybody a drawing though

[MaxxxRacer]

whats the file type? DXF? DWG? i would love to take a look at it.

Hi
Actually its free hand pencil But I will do a proper one, covert it to pdf and e-mail it to you if you let me know your e-mail address

OK doing it now on CAD program. Can do DFX file type if you like

Cheers

Nice, I'll send you a PM if you can also mail it to me Nice work, uranium!
