Ok cool the fittings coming out the top will be easy to work with I actually prefer the side, only because I use this on slot processors and vid cards also. Makes it easier to manipulate around to keep the board uncluttered. |

Exactly. Once you start dabbling with sub ambient benching everything changes. Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

ive had me eye on this for a long time too, problem is i dunno whats inside it, looks very similar to the evo in asthetic design, but its what count thats in the guts for what i do with water, i dont want it to be another shim type type design like the evo, i coudlve just taken the guts right of the evo altogether but it serves a better purpose the way it was designed to do which should ihopefully help benefit pete when he does water benches www.ebay.com.au/itm/331877195679?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT |

yeah those things are designed to run on normal fluid that isnt so thick from the cold temps or thick period since antifreeze and washer fluid is thicker then normal distilled water they use in everyday watercooled builds

Better results just burning your money. yeah scotty they try imitate a well known block design/look to get you in, id be interested to see the guts in it tho, im gunna stick to me big duble copper plate block, i'll just make another top plate for it, drill the holes off the apogee gt template and whack that on the big block, and im gunna grind the nipples off in the bottom plate inline with the inlet and discharge ports, i never have a flow problem with it unless i get gunk from the water caught on the nipples in which pete has seen, grinding the nipples off will stop that and i'll put a bit of stocking over the discharge outlet to filter the water and catch the gunk, now the hardest part........just gotta find a woman prepared to part with her stockings, of course she'll be appropriately compensated  |

this is my main block ive used for ages now, the 2 copper plate 1, im going to grind the centre fingers, nipples, what ever you wanna call em, or all to get more unrestricted flow, ive never had flow issues with this block unless i get water gunk, then it gets pushed to the discharge side and inhibits flow, the block is universal , either can be inlet or discharge  |

I would cut the outter edges where the copper is thick as hell and make more fins in there where it was wasted space or I would put some slots in that area where they just wasted space where the red lines are  Attachments:

dunno, how the bloody hell am i gunna make more fins ? the section im talkin about is the middle, thats where the gunk gathers, if if free that up then probs over and done with as i see it
nah...shady i dont see it like that, where you drew the redlines isnt going to matter 1 bit, i need to grind off the copper lines , fins, ribs or whatever theyre called from the inlet to outlet , in the middle will fix the problem with no restrictions, then its up to how cold i can get the water, methylated spriits has got me down to -4c but its no good to refreeze, its a go and throw thing with that in the water

those areas I marked are dead space where no water flows if you cut lines in that with a grind wheel and make grooves in it there will be more places for the water to flow they dont have to look like the zigzags just some simple grooves to add waterflow in those spots

That block is fine for cold water. It's not restrictive at all.

ah ok I didnt know that hmm I would only take a few of those fins out tho you might find you take them all out and you wont spread the cooling into the plate

It's not restrictive at all. yeah its been a good block scotty, the only thing that restricts it is when i get that gunk in the water and it gather at the end of the wavey ribs at whatever end is used for discharge as either port can be used for inlet or discharge so i was thinkin if i ground the middle rib and the 2nd rib on both sides down it would give the gunk more chance to get thru and up to the res again to get caught in the filter when i work out how to set up a filter on the discharge hose at the top of the res |

I would leave the fins in just get a bit of hose and hook it up to the tap and flush it out in both directions occasionally.
That will get the gunk out.
