    My ALU GPU container.**UPDATE**Back from the GRAVE

    Well got my GPU container during the weekend, didn't have anytime to post the pics or put it to the test yet. It's a solid aluminum container. Sorry for the kinda dark pictures.

    Hopefully I will be putting this and my CPU container to the test later this week with a 4600+ and a X1900XT.

    Hmm that may be a bugger to insulate since there is no extra section on the base for contact with the gpu core

    Thanks vapb400!

    About making more and selling them, lets wait and see how it performs first. I should have some more pictures by the weekend and results as I'll be putting the container to the test.

    You have really nice cpu and gpu containers. First you milled the lower base part and then lathed the pipe? Or how was the making procedure?

    I was wondering the same, almost looks like it would have to be done by hand on the base with sanding disk or something after the pipe was turned. One things for sure it's a rather large GPU container

    I'd assume he milled the block down to leave the lower part then bore down the center... Can't think of any other way. I'm waiting to see how it works!

    Nice job, looks very slick. I'm sure it'll perform just as well as it looks

    **UPDATE**

    Some of you may remember this beautiful looking pot I made a couple of years ago, that I thought was going to be a great performer. Unfortunately because it was all aluminum it just couldn't handle load very well and could barley keep with the heat output of the x1900's gpu during high clocks. So I put it away and thought I'd never use it again and just keep it as a show piece lol.

    And now almost two years later I am glad I didn't scrape it cause it turned out to be very heat friendly with a few modifications.

    Just testing the pot out with the few liters of ln2 I had left. 2900 PRO, 1.45vgpu with ln2.


    More pictures are coming.

    Getting real busy at work but heres a couple quickies I took when I was leaving, basically showing the major changes. The copper is just press fit in, no glue or sealant needed. The mounting plate is temporary from an old prototype pot I made last year, it works fine but when I get some time I'll make a proper fitting one.
