DIY Waterblock (pics inside, 56k warning) and results!

[Shadow703793]

Here are the final results. Block was CNCed (Aluminum 6061); couldn't do on Copper due to cost. The water inlet fitting has some "fittings" inside of it to change/improve turbulent flow. The outlet fitting is untouched.

Leak testing:

Sorry for the mess. Took over my sis's bath room. :P

A quick rendering of the block:


The rad with a 120mm 110CFM Scythe Slipstream fan:


All assembled on a Celeron D 315 @ 3.6Ghz (CPUZ valid: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=261994 )


Calculated the ~ Wattage of this thing:

:ouch: 141W!!!! with OC. No wonder these were called Preshot's

The first 10 minutes of P95 small FFT

Temp2 is the CPU temp

After 35 minutes:

Temp2 is CPU.
Note: Voltages shown in SpeedFan are wrong.
Sorry, I had to take pics of the screen with a camera as the test PC was not hooked up to the net (couldn't print screen as the mouse wasn't hooked either :P ). Heck doesn't even have Win 2k SP4 loaded lol

Not bad eh? With a Thermaltake P4 SPARK7+ (lapped) the results were 64C under load.

The block was not lapped yet (waiting for 400-1000grit and papers to be back in stock at the local Autozone). CPU was previously lapped. The CPU block is a quite concave so lapping should improve results by ~3-4C.

Going to be doing tests on i7 or E2180/E5200 (both OCed to 3Ghz+) once I make a bolt in kit and lapp the CPU
