sensei ! how to choose good waterblock ya? is there anyone here ever done custom made waterblock? i'm sorry if the topic is already open. i'm doing my final year project on waterblock alone. so i'm looking oso for other current trend of waterblock for evaluation. this thesis gimme headache already.

suggesstions and information deeply appreciate. thank you!

manufacturing course. this project only consider machining the waterblock. i'm just about to start searching for waterblock materials. nanti, i hv to do the rig myself, which i'm not so sure how to build one

thanks a lot. informative to me!

walla~ so u did it on what ey? can u gimme the size of the block u design there?

i'll prolly ask more in the future. anyway, thanks in advance

ooh is it? u use manual? cool. i wonder if can i do the same design. is it already copyright?
thanks for the useful info. i might consider one for my block analysis then!
the block is still in use now? how you assemble the mounting? you use screws only?

anyone, wants to share any custom blocks here?

is it ok if i want to consider using brazing or welding to assemble the blocks? coz i'm considering using whole copper as the waterblock

if i make a waterblock size 2" x 2" (like extremeocer dsgn), how much power of pump shoud i u use then? is it the smaller the inlet/outlet tube, the lower power pump i should use? i'm afraid i might leak the waterblock soon enough if the block cannot sustain the pressure inside.

another question, do these people ever done analysis on their waterblock? so far haven't seen one through journals only testing base on temp decreament

heat transfer and finite element analysis. therefore, need to study the pressure drop inside (based on pump that i will use), heat transfer efficiency, how the water flow and such. not sure if different channel design will give different? considering using microchannel gonna use CFX and ProMechanica. if possible, gonna try for ABAQUS. aiyoh, need to study more. my fundamentals not good enough

nway, thanks mr MetalZone and lohwenli. i'll work on the design. i might show some of them.

oo okay! will look into it. so many infos. i want to cry
if i don't want to consider jet impingement method, relying on surface area is enough then?

haven't got my own design to analyze

oh really? yeay! what is ur title then? hmm. i think i heard ur name from my senior. i wonder is it alex? so u grad from UM? if its true, tell me ur thesis title so i can find the book in the library

right now, i'm discussing with my supervisor on the material and cutting tool. i need to determine the cutting tool diameter so i can design channel according to tool. gonna use MasterCAM to create the tool path for CNC machine.

so u use G-Code?
