    Alu cpu-pot

    Finished 2 new cpupots for a couple of weeks ago. Was going to do them in copper at first but then i saw the prices on copper and decided to go with alu instead

    Will try both of them on Phenom II 550 and some 775 cpus soon

    Tried to attach them but they were just size xxxxxl so if anyone can do it for me with the right size i would be very grateful.

    So how do you think it will perfom on dry ice? These pots are 99% for dry ice.

    Haha, yes the Cu prices are very high... I often pay 50-100€ for one full copper Pot!

    Don't know how it will perfom. Just built full copper pots yet =) But interesting structure

    Post some results please if you've tested it!

    Well yeah, when i phoned a company and asked for the price they wanted 100euro for the big chunk in the bottom for 1 pot. After that i needed to get the pipe to so it would have gotten very expensive very fast.

    Me and my friend will test the pots around 21-23 this month. Just hoping they will perfom The bottom plate is about 12mm thick and inside the tower its about 10mm at the thinnest place and 13mm at the thickest. My thoughts about the pot was to place as much mass as possible over the center of the cpu core to hold load, thats why i made a tower there. Then the whole in the middle of it should hold temps down in idle since its not very much mass there. Then the drilled holes are for the aceton to have a free flow inside the pot.

    Im hoping to do a alupot with copper core in the future. Since it can hold costs down so hopefully my next pot would be somewhat same design but the tower would have been copper.
