Waterblock "BatMan" by Pietach

[phelan1777]

not making fun of the block:

The poor mans G4/G5?

[Jochenp]

Every time somebody puts together a custom block, most XSers just all over the block and its creator, which is really a shame -- especially in a case like this where Pietach's work is exquisite.

I think people calling your block a very good stormreplica is a compliment.

[The Dome]

It's not really a replica, it's based off the same principles but mixes elements of several proven block designs and the result is a nice block.

[Jochenp]

You know what I mean
Im not a native english speaker, I don't want to offence the guy in any way, he did a great job.

@Jochen: Sorry that I misread your comment, I thought you were being sarcastic. I've got to keep in mind the language differences!

Also, I've seen a lot of custom blocks posted here only to be ridiculed. Then again, sometimes ridicule isn't entirely uncalled-for.

Anyhoo...

@Pietach: Any plans to sell these or (please!) a two-prong version? If you can keep manufacturing costs at that €8-10 range, you could significantly undercut the current high-end blocks even factoring in labor costs. If performance is anywhere near the Storm or MP-01, you could price these at ~€35-40 and they'd fly off the shelves.

Of course, if you wanted to do that you might have to reduce the bling-factor on the hold-down plate. You know, maybe replace it with something a little less, er, copyright-infringing.

looks most like a LR cascade

very nice either way.

Nice! Very clean block, I like

[eXa]

enought with the "looks like"

it looks like storm because of impigment
it looks like antarktica\rbx because of 3 barbs
it looks like ek flow\tdx\cuplex pro\any other plexi top because of the plexi
it looks like apogee\storm\mp-5\++ because of hold down plate

in short, it looks like an waterblock!

why 3 barbs..not sure I understand why??

Bardzo ladnie wypolerowane <3

[Pietach]

could you explain picture 1, 2 and 3?

The picture number 1,2,3 - that is the pattern to drilling

Next step: more holes in the same area

Will be 30-36 openings

Also think about making a two barb version

Will be two

why 3 barbs..not sure I understand why??

(niech ktoś IM napisze że top zastosowałem gotowy od innego bloczka i dlatego sa 3 "barbs" i jeden bedzie zakrecony.
Bo ja nie znam angielskiego)

You can always plug one of the outlets.
I wonder if the plate will fit on my G5. LOL.

[Xtreme Addict]

The top of the block is CNC made, but Pietach bought it on allegro (substitute of ebay.com ) and that's the why the are 3 barbs and one will be locked

here here

but we all know we want temp results...

and greet Pietach for a block well made/customized/done

[CedricFP]

Would it be possible to widen the surface area this thing actually cools? Right now it looks better suited to IHS-less cores - something like the MP-05 might outperform it on cores with IHS due to the larger cooling area.

[Fstfrddy]

Very nice job indeed! And I agree with the 2 barb theory. I too have made both 2 and 3 barb blocks and there is no advantage to the 3 barb.

[ferrari_freak]

The block itself looks really nice but what really catches my eye is the sweet hold down plate. Are you making anymore so people can test them out on newer procs?

Agreed..and i'd like one without the third hole.

awesome work dude

[Pietach]

I'll make a version of the blocks with only two barbs- the third hole will be locked.
I have never sold blocks abroad and I don't know how to solve the problem of payment ( I don't have a foreign currency account).
I'm going to make 6 blocks soon, and you can see the parts of them in the photos below.
They haven't been tested yet. As soos as I make tests, I'll show you the results.
If someone would like to buy it, I'l try to solve the problem of payment. I'll go to the bank and I'll ask about a foreign currency account.
