Waterblock "Hybrid" made by Pietach

**Pietach** · 06-18-2005, 11:54 AM

This is my next waterblock
This waterblock will be with an integrated radiator
This waterblock is for weaker CPU
It won't be efficient ( temperature will be higher) but it will be silent.
The design is based on Freezer

My previous project of radiator

Elements of waterblock

It's not shiny now but when I finish it, it will shine.

Remaining elements:
30 Alluminum sheets - 60x90x1.5mm
Arctic Fan 3 TC
cooper pipes

To be continued

ps. I'll be back here!!

Beautiful. Passive radiator block....

**BRiT** · 06-18-2005, 01:49 PM

I'm sure this will turn out like all your projects... nothing short of beautiful.

**MaxxxRacer** · 06-18-2005, 01:53 PM

wowa.. now that is interesting. any word on how heavy it will be?

btw pietach, make sure to use the THINNEST possible material for the radiator fins for best perforamnce.

**n00b 0f l337** · 06-18-2005, 01:54 PM

And how do you get the water in there? And is it just natural convection to move the water around? How do you get the aluminum to stay on the tubes at certain hieghts?

**Pietach** · 06-18-2005, 02:29 PM

I'll use water pump

**n00b 0f l337** · 06-18-2005, 02:31 PM

Oh so you pump the liquid in just a pump/rad loop? So is this sorta just like a heatpipe setup?

**Wiggy McShades** · 06-18-2005, 04:15 PM

thats pretty dam sick, so lemme see if i can understand this. the radiator is right on the cpu block ? would that be better than having the radiator seperate ?

**MaxxxRacer** · 06-18-2005, 05:06 PM

its not really better but its innovative... a regular HE120.1 or BIP or BIX will end up performing considerably better than this setup but the idea is interesting.

**Special_K** · 06-18-2005, 06:24 PM

omg - a home-made heatpipe!!

is there no end to this man's ingenuity? =D

**babalouj** · 06-18-2005, 07:36 PM

its not a heatpipe its a radiator on the cpu waterblock. interesting idea! for those people who hate hacking up their cases, this could be the solution.

**Special_K** · 06-19-2005, 05:31 AM

well, no, it's not EXACTLY a heatpipe but he's using the same principles just substituting amonia for water

**WeStSiDePLaYa** · 06-19-2005, 09:27 AM

no, not at all as there is a completelty liquid filled tube, there is not vapourization going on at all.

**caLume** · 06-19-2005, 10:58 AM

the rad looks really tight

**gkiing** · 06-19-2005, 11:12 AM

If you filled it with liquid propane to a pressure so it boils just above room temperature (~121psig) the liquid would turn into gas --> move up to fins --> turn back to liquid --> do the cycle again. I think that this would work better as a heatpipe than a regular h20 circuit.

But FIRST you would have to make sure all joints were soldered/brazed.. otherwise they would burst!

**kopeah** · 06-19-2005, 01:21 PM

It would be a perfect waterblock for a small computer.

**MaxxxRacer** · 06-19-2005, 01:54 PM

gkiing: its already been proven heatpipes arnt as effecient as watercooling... proven again and again.

**MeltedDuron** · 06-19-2005, 04:38 PM

ooooooooh shiney

is that gonna have a pump tho?

**MaxxxRacer** · 06-19-2005, 04:57 PM

as he said before it will have a pump

**MeltedDuron** · 06-19-2005, 05:00 PM

okies thanx maxx

**Pietach** · 06-20-2005, 02:24 AM

It would be a perfect waterblock for a small computer.

exactly

**teko** · 06-20-2005, 09:09 AM

Seems like a cool way to do it, but how much noise will the fan make, and I doesn't quite understand where the pump will be?

**MaxxxRacer** · 06-20-2005, 09:28 AM

the fan is a super quiet model from arctic cooling.

**Unseen** · 06-20-2005, 10:41 AM

You r doing a very nice job. I am watching your threads

**Pietach** · 06-20-2005, 01:09 PM

moved pictures to the top
