My waterblock design

[Dieter@be]

Hello guys,
I'm designing a copperblock to cool my dlt3c 1800+
It 'll be made with a CNC machine, but for now, I'm still in the thinking/designing fase.
I'll show you some drawings I made, and explain how it works. (The block has a top part, and a bottom part,
both in copper, i made a drawing of both, viewed from the side and the top)
(btw I dont know yet which pump, what fittings and rad i will use)




So this is the top, on which you see the holes to mount the block to the mobo, and to hold the top part and bottom part
togheter. But what's more important: Below the inlet, there is an "adapter" to change the waterflow. Just below were you screw in the fittings (fittings are drawn above the block, so not screwed in) the diameter is the same as the inner diameter of the fitting and changes from a round opening to a square opening, with the dimensions of the core. So the water will strike the bottom part of the block in the shape of the core. The "gateway" to the outlets is nothing special.




Here you can see how the "adapter" works.
Btw: The distances between the holes are 66,09 and 36,14 actually




note: the arrows and lines above the fat line aren't offcoure part of the block ;-)
So here you see how the water comes down, and strikes the finn's of the block, and is led to the outer outlets (i made
the bottom profile in that rounded shape to improve the water flow, you notice i marked the |out-to-in| distance, i think that the bigger this distance is, the better the water can flow (since the profile is better then))
The fins end just below where the outlet starts. (which is more clear ind the drawing below)




Here you see in - - - lines the shape of the core, so the area where the water strikes on.
The water is led away to the sides and go to the outlets.

What do you think of the block?
Btw I need to know how the core is placed in comparision with the 4 mounting holes. I heard the size is about 11x7mm so that will do.
