this thing is made out of copper right????
colour looks funny
It is actually light blue. My GF bought cheap light bulbs so it is hard to get a decent pic without sunlight.Originally Posted by Nate P.

Edit: Here's some initial idle/load temps after a quick OC to 3ghz on stock vcore, room ambient is 21C:
Speedfan was calibrated to match my ambient on average of the two core temps and the reading from the bios.

those temps are great!!! is that a b3 or a g0 stepping???
No, I think he had a date tonight...

It is a G0, I wanted to add by the way that the PA160 was starting to blow some pretty hot air by the time the temps stabilized so with a higher CFM fan I think I can get the idle/load delta even lower. Right now it is about 11C, I am hoping for 8C or so at this Clock/vcore.
Oh wow! I am awaiting results as well! This thing looks like a killer WB!

I love it, I'm thinking now how I can do this with a dremel and a drill press...
What's the base size, for it to have to clear those components?
one of the nicest looking block ive ever seen!

Oh yeah, that would be sweet
housing kinda looks like brass (hopefully for larger production runs

Thanks for the comments all.
The housing is all brass besides the base. I am thinking about making a Black deltin top next week just to see how it looks though.
This block is looking pretty awesome. I OC'ed up to 3.3ghz @ 1.35vcore (in bios) and the average load delta is 13C. From the numbers I've seen this is looking up there with the EK supreme and D-Tek Fuzion or maybe even a hair better at least at this speed/vcore.
I am slowly working my way up on my OC (this is my first Intel system in years) so I want to get some numbers @~ 3.5ghz and 1.4v or so since that is around where I've seen most of the tests done on other the blocks. At least then a semi-accurate performance comparison can be made at approximately the same heat load.

nice temps!!
will be making more these blocks?? maybe selling them?
a black acetal top version would be nice
i like how the mounting is built into the block...
easy to mount ?

Like I said over at overclock.net, I think that thing is dead sexy. You got talent, man.
I think you might have better flow with the barbs spaced further apart.. minimal depending on the pump of course, but better
All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.
So here is 3.4ghz @ 1.4v in bios (1.3 in cpu-z after vdroop) Ignore the cpu usage, that is just Vista dicking around in the background but if you bring up the task manager it shows zero cpu usage. I let the temps stabilize for 10+ minutes before the screenie.
I have a 3C cooler ambient temp this morning, the load/idle delta is 11.25C
This block means business.
There is no doubt I need to take a bit more scientific approach before I start to make any solid claims about how good or bad this block is, but so far things are looking very good.
I am trying my best to be unbiased and wait for thermal equilibrium before taking screenies but my methods are far from precise. I would be inclined to say that my 11.25C delta was due to cooler water temps, but the water in the loop is getting heated to the point where the fan is blowing warm air and the side of the rad is warm also, so I don't feel that water temps are all that different than yesterday. Plus I have a small loop so I don't feel there is all that much heat capacity.
I have access to lots of test equipment at work so I will try to get you guys some good solid numbers on this.
Looking great man, wish I had the tools and talent that people around here do.
Nice to see another homemade block that performs with the "big dogs".

That is a very nice block! Did you cast the brass?
Awesome block! That color is a nice change from the delrin in all of the other blocks.
Great looking piece as well as great craftmanship and results!
Do you have any pics of the underside and the mounting plate assembled together?
I would like to see how you put the two together.
Great looking block!
Very nice looking block.
Excellent result, great looking too..
