making water cooling

[generalRage1982hrv]

i know this is strange but why to buy water cooling when u have a skill to make one ?
here is my small start with making this thing
1. water block
i have used aluminum (it is not pure aluminum it is used for constructing large radiators so it have faster thermal transfer)
so i playd few hours with one of machines on my work place so i got this


2. water pump
well i have buyd a pump for aquarium lol and it cost-ed me around 10$
i know it is funny but its flow is 1500L/h and that is a good thing
because for pump that have high flow you need to pay over 100$
3. radiator
well that was problem to get here (in my country)
so i used a radiator for heating (from Opel Ascona)

and here is how it looks




i know most of you guys will say that cpu is slow and old
but i used it because it is almost hot like a old Thunderbird
so it is perfect candidate for testing

p.s.it is not final solution i am still working on tank and smaller cpu block to fit 775 socket (will be fully made from Cu)

p.s.2. still runing a OCCT tests and i hope it will run for 24 hours

Wow.

That looks real sweet.

Could you post up some of the stuff you use at the machine shop that you use to make this?

Lotsa respect for the self made machined crowd...

well i will but you will need to w8 some time
and it is one large machine like a horizontal drill
it is hard to operate with one of those
it is all manually no computer on it so you need to calculate
will make also a pics of new cpu block

Wow.. Your own home-made waterblock.

BTW, you can upload full-sized pictures here using the Attachment mode (below the text entry area when you create a new thread / post reply). It will automatically generate thumbnails for you.

True, although sometimes they (imageshack, etc.) do go down or not display properly.
