Some pics of my newest waterblock "Brute Force"

[iandh]

My Q6600 G0 just showed up today which was an excellent reason to make a nice beefy block to cool it. After about six hours at the shop...

Dissasembled view


Lower plate top


Lower plate bottom


2nd section top- the lower plate drops in and is sealed on its underside by the center o-ring.


In place with top of 3rd section pictured.


Bottom of 3rd section. The channels were used to allow some water over the tops of the pins and slightly reduce the impingement.


3rd section in place. I beveled the tops of the pins to reduce resistance to water entering the pin matrix.


Yes, I actually put "Brute Force" on the top. Cheesy, I know... it is sort of a joke actually. It stemmed from the idea to take the brute force approach and make a huge pin matrix and resulting huge block. There are only so many pins you can cram into a certain area, so eventually you just have to increase that area. The flow is laminar across the block but it doesn't matter because this isn't a block like the fusion with a thin base. I specifically wanted a nice thick base that would evenly spread the heat out across and reduce temperature spikes, so that is what I did.


A couple more pics of the block sitting on the board. I will just make four little brackets for the mounts, I didn't have time tonight.

oh wow, that thing is definitely massive. (although not as big as that other block that was made, some should know what I am talking about) let us know the temps!

[perfection]

wow, that thing looks awesome

awaiting results!

While most sit and wait for fed ex or the post to arrive with their water cooling stuff, how c0cky is that? Very impressive

Interesting block, good pics too. I could immediately tell how it worked once you posted the 2nd & 3rd pic - the lower plate. I'm not too sure about the shallow channels you put in the bottom of the middle section though. Letting some water bypass might hurt performance slightly. Any chance you made a 2nd section without the channels to test whether they help or not?

[Nanometer]

where can I get one haha

[Origin_Unknown]

wow, excellent machine work

[septim]

oh yeah "brute force" indeed... nice!!!

(you almost wished that you'd finish the mounting for it, so you could give it a go...)

[Scubar]

Excellent work indeed. I wish i had the skills to be able to create my own blocks.

[Kayin]

Makes me wish my stuff would get in so I could start making them...

Gorgeous work. Those bead-blasted?

[Nate P.]

Looks awesome. Great job!

[breakneckspeeds]

That thing looks beautiful. Eagerly awaiting results!

[CyberDruid]

At nearly 800g I don't think a mount is required...as long as the mobo is in a horizontal position

I really love the way it looks. A work of art.

[Duh]

wow man.. very very shhhweeet

[kevinbo03]

Thats looking very nice! Curious as to how well it would perform.

[RubberDuck]

Holy MMOG that is awesome man I want one

[Shlomo]

So yeah, as an FYI... I came bricks.

[Martinm210]

Wow, yet another work of art!

The size is massive, I really like how you purposefully cut around the caps and made it custom to the board...very sharp!!

Good thinking on the thicker base, I think that's what you need for the larger pin matrix....

And you better stop that before you make me start looking at stepper motors and stuff I don't have money for...

How wide is the step on the base of that block?

That is definitely what I would call a beefy block. I'm sure it'll do good on the G0

[Clockwork_Apple]

Nice to see you put a step in the base, I'd like to see some performance numbers for this block, looks like a good design.

[Dooglas]

You should honestly try to to start selling your stuff man! I have only seen quality products coming from you that I would snap up in a heartbeat!

[disruptfam]

results?

[headala]

It's so....pretty. You call it brute force but I think it looks quite refined!

Here's a couple of pics of the block mounted:







As you can tell by the pics this block has its own area code on the board.


I just finished refilling my loop and am idling at 19C in the bios, which isn't bad considering the ambient is 19C. Time to install windows and put some load on this puppy.

Thanks for the comments all, I am off to the shop to fill more ramsink orders so I have to split for the night. I will report back tomorrow with my initial OC and some load delta numbers.
