Been a while. i've been moving out and generally was pretty busy but i'm gonna bench some athlons soon. Took a little advice from Ozzie while building this, here's a little teaser for you guys   |

besides the block is DIY, pretty simple design, i'd say even too simple, i'm wondering if i should cut some traces in the copper to give it a little more surface area. But i'll see how it works first. the copper plate is 3mm thick if anyone is interested

i thought youd forgotten all about that project stan the man, just leave the copper as it is for now and see how it performs, what sort of pump is that ?

It looks good for your first go traces across the copper plate would help another thing the recess in your nylon top should be only about 2mm deep.
That will make more of the water actually come in contact with the copper plate.

PVC plastic Vinnie. pretty soft, the thread cutter went through it like butter (even tho it was a soviet made thread cutter lmao)

A little update here for you folks  Welded together a nice little stand for the "reservoir" at work. I work part time as a welder now lmao    I think i'm gonna paint it since it's steel and some corrosion surely will happen over time. Getting there slowly |

nice man,  youd be surprised the amount of weight it will be when its full of ice and ultimately melted water, thats why i had to put 2 paver bricks in my case lol, it was on the edge of tipping over when full, mine works best when it has about 1 to 2 litres of water and the rest ice, any more water than that and it tends to lose the cold quicker ,if its about the same size as mine my guess is it will hold a good 6-8 litres of ice/water |

Always a job market for a good welder. Decent trade to learn. |

Always a job market for a good welder. Decent trade to learn. I'm still learning, but from what i know right now, 70% of the success in getting good welds are the current you're using, and a decent wire the rest is just making yourself comfortable enough to move your hand freely. and a bit of skill. I actually find welding aluminum a bit easier than steel for some reason, it's much quicker and smooth for me. |

Just installed fresh wangblows. with no ice in the water, at 1,7volts and 1800mhz chip heats up to about 37C, i only checked temps in bios now but i'll check how it's when it idles in windows. before i start anything i gotta prepare. but all is nice and stable for now. also a bit of a sad news, one of my corsair sticks just died on me, dunno how, lights up but mobo refuses to boot with it, i tried it in different boards and all do the same... WHY is it so hard to find fast ddr's?  This chip ran at 14-15x multi at 1,9 volts under dice, and being as inexperienced as i am, i fucked all possible things up back then lmao But i know it's capable of a nice score for sure   |

that thing is awesome much better then the shit I seen where people just drop a radiator in a bucket of ice lol do you have copper tube inside that big tube for your water to flow kinda like a still and drop ice around the copper tube?? I didnt see a pic of the inside of the tube

thanks mate. no, i will just put bottles of ice inside, that should do it i think. also a question folks, does anyone have the clockgen tool for NF7? i'd be thankful |

thats a great idea too never thought of that then you can just refreeze and reuse lol

You want that tube half filled with ice cubes then add a bit of water. I am sure he will chime in, in a sec You can download clockgen anywhere just type it in your browser. |

yes pete is 100% right, frozen bottles of water wont cut it to bench with, it melts too quick, i have 2 large coke bottles that i use to get the water down to say 8-10 c first, then i put the ice in, i have a SS strainer/filter about 3 inches high x 4 inches diameter thats in the bottom of my res so as to stop any foreign stuff getting to the pump, and also to sit the bottles on an it doesnt interfere with the suction port to the pump, i also use the frozen bottles to install os systems if ive changed a board, saves ice, i just keep an eye on the water temp gauge to know when to swap bottles, altho this system has worked well for me its also cost heaps, my power bill was over 1000$ for 6 mths, mistone wont have ice problems soon enough, hes in poland  plenty of ice there to use, i only use enough water in it to fully prime the system and a bit in the res, usually 1 - 1.2 litres, the water flow from the pump will give you more in no time, especially the tougher benches, thats why i have 2 temp probes, 1 in the res and 1 on the cpu IHS plate, the cpu temp might read 10c but the water in the res will read 15c for eg and thats only a guide coz it cant read the actual chip temp in the cpu which will be more than 10c, the only real accurate reading is the water in the res reading of the water temp going to the cpu , and you have to keep an eye on the water level accumulated in the res and keep draining it to keep the level around the 1 ltr mark to keep the temps as low as possible for best results, you can add methylated spirits to the water to get lower temps but its usless to refreeze, it goes to like a mush and melts much quicker than normal frozen water the 2nd time round and loses its cold very quickly, so i just chuck it if i use metho with the water...hope that helps !! |
