ScD Watercooler - Diamond Watercooler(waterblock) !

**Juggernout** · 07-11-2003, 10:56 AM

Hi guys !

I'm quite new at this Forum and i am From Austria. (middle Europe) I luv overclocking. I had a Vapochill and a Prometia but changed again to watercooling cause of a few reasons which disturbed me (heavy weight, noise, voltage needed,etc...) . Nower days Waterblocks are quite nice but i searched for another material which is better in transfearing the heat. Silver..hmm...na..what about diamond ?

After a long search I found a company in the USA which produces ScD (Scelleton Diamond Plates). The heat transfer rate is unbelievable good ! But the price was a bit frustrating: 1700$ for one plate (44*44*3mm small) - delivery only in the US
But this problem was solved quite fast: I got to know an Austrian guy which works in a big physics labor in the USA and he organized a plate for me - for free !

After 2 weeks of waiting i got the plate. (its so kool that u can melt a iceblock with just holding ur finger on one side and the iceblock on the other side

)
Next step was to find someone who will build me a waterblock out of this little sweetie ! Problem 1: The price. Single coolers are alwys quite expensive to built. Problem 2: The ScD is that the plate is so Â§Â§Â§Â§in hard that u can only cut it with a laser - so how to build it in the waterblock ? I found a very nice guy (www.zern.at) the leading waterblock producer in Europe who said he'll do this job for a beer cause he's also interessted in the results !

Right now the cooler is under production. I'll have it next week but I'm so happy and wanted to share it with u guys !

In my oppinion this cooler will be the best waterblock ever seen and I'm looking forward to test it !

Here a few pics:

Speaks for itself:

The plate itself:

How it will look like:

So that's all ! Wish me luck !

Greetz !

Ps.: I will keep you updated & excuse my English !

if you can get more of those plates, id like a block for my phase change setup im going to make soon.
PLMK if youd be able to make a few. add me to the top of your list

Can u afford it ?

**Dissolved** · 07-11-2003, 11:23 AM

if you get the plates for free i can

**Juggernout** · 07-11-2003, 11:24 AM

LOL !

I guess not...
Why should the Company give em all for free !?

**Dissolved** · 07-11-2003, 11:32 AM

not all just 2. one for you and one for me

**Juggernout** · 07-11-2003, 11:40 AM

I know you since 2mins and I shall give u a plate which costs actually 1700$ and which is nearly impossible (!) to get ?!

Yeah man i can't stop laughing !

heheheheh lol dissolved... well it was worth a try wasnt it? :roft:

dude your damn lucky to meet that guy... i love when this happens... happened to me a couple of times, stuck somehwere and somebody i barely knew helped me out... i believe in carma so i help everybody i can

remeber to help somebody as much as this guy helped you!

it the plate 100% waterproof? better check that, maybe its a nanostructure of crystals and water slowely runs through it?
it could take months for ther water to run through, but then it would short your cpu...

that stuff looks cool, can you post more pics?
sounds like the future to me... one day probably all heatsinks will be made with that

is it a mix of silicium and galliumarsenide?

Hmm.. are there any quick possibilities to find out if its really waterproof ? (but i guess it is

)

More pics ? I havent got it at home now - its in progress - but when i have it i will make some nice pics !

Its a mix of industry diamond and a special mixture of anything (really dunno)

Greetz !

**Ragnarok** · 07-13-2003, 01:54 AM

1700? LOL

for that amount of money i'd rather just invest in a prom/custom R404 cooler

in my honest opinion, having a diamond plate would be a fun project, be in terms of performance it is a point of diminishing returns...

**Dissolved** · 07-13-2003, 10:02 AM

yea.. they maybe the future.. but for 1700, i could build a phase change strong enough to cool 100 computers to -40c load or something lol..

But having diamonds just sounds cool..

**Juggernout** · 07-13-2003, 11:52 AM

I got it for free so its ok

If it works fine I'm going to get one for my GPU too !

**antipop** · 07-13-2003, 01:08 PM

Good luck and post some pics and results. IIRC someone at hard tried it a year or so ago and he got some pretty impressive result

**sjohnson** · 07-13-2003, 01:52 PM

A diamond heatspreader - now that's xtreme

**Juggernout** · 07-13-2003, 05:49 PM

Yeah as I said I am really looking forward to holding this baby in my hands !

My precious...

Really ?!

links - results - anything ?

btw:Sorry for doublepost

(and no - i am no postcounter hunter !

**saaya** · 07-13-2003, 07:31 PM

is it hard to cut? if its made with diamonds i wonder how your going to machine it

Not for me, are you banned from hard?

**saaya** · 07-15-2003, 12:35 AM

i can see them and im not even registered... your ip is banned i guess.

**NickK** · 07-15-2003, 01:19 AM

The only thing I'd be worried about is the pressure applied to such a thin sheet of ScD.

**Juggernout** · 07-15-2003, 05:11 AM

Now they work so ltes se...

It's diamond so i don't think that would be a problem.
Maybe with some heat from the cpu it'll transform into coal

Beware

**Juggernout** · 07-15-2003, 08:31 AM

Can someone please tell me what :

109 F
& 118 F

are in normal degrees ? (Â°)

Thx !
