Copper XS ~= Cascade SS (silver). Storm/G4 pipped the XS across the board, except at ultra low flow (<2LPM).

oh well... just be sure to let me know when the downpayments for the G5's beginCathar said:Copper XS ~= Cascade SS (silver). Storm/G4 pipped the XS across the board, except at ultra low flow (<2LPM).
I thought the same exact thing when i saw it about identicalI love their Pin Fin design.

A possible problem I see with what you got is the concentration of the jets and the area for the water to escape is quite tiny. I think your loosing the impingment effect with the restriction.
How many hours do you have into that baby?
If you ever wanna drop by and program up a block like that and cnc it, give me a hollar

BillA said:Hi Hoot,
you should love our pin-fin design, it was the forging you used that inspired it
you're well into the mounting, but add flatness
if you have a ever so slightly convex bp, you will play hell getting consistant mountings because it will rock to one side and then with another mount to another
(I'm thinking of your last wb's bp)
look CLOSELY at the grease, it reveals all
non-uniform grease = non-uniform flatness = inconsistant results
if you want to send it to me I'll lap it on the machine and diamond polish
(Hoot only guys, sorry)

This way you could use screws at corners or at edges.
Diggrr said:Oh, almost forgot!
Since you're feeding water into that cap the way you are, the inlet doesn't need to be centered so you can make a new one offset and build a bar/mount bridging over the center with a central torquing screw. That would definately center up the mounting pressure and help level things a bit.
Everybody should know that temp monitoring / readout of AMD64 is nothing more than a guess of what the ambient tcase (air temp under the lid/HS) is. A64 has a predefined register and the winbond temp chips use this as a base for calculating data to increase / decrease temp based on this register. It's not based on a real temperature sensor , if it were all our problems reading temps had been solved ages ago .
So sum it all up. Temp reporting on a A64 is bogus as hell , and based on a guess of what temp it's inside in the air under the lid/heatsperader .
The temp register is set at the same initial temp value nomatter what kind of cpu cooler ambient temp , case vent you have . So it's not exactly difficult to see that temp recordings of different setups (coolers/cases/ambient temps) is inclusive .
robjen said:Here is an idea that I have seen before, instead of connecting the block to the holes on the board, put a suspended frame above the block, and put a sping between the fram and the block which is the same diameter as the barb and hose coming out of the top. If the barb is centered over the chip, the pressure will be directly in the center.
just my 2cents worth
