My ghetto homemade waterblock.

Haha, well first off I'm very cheap and with that comes some craftsmanship to make expensive things cheap by making them out of nothing haha. I made this little piece using an old coolermaster heatsink with a copper core, some copper tubing and elbows and a bit of solder this was born. A bit unsightly and large, but it works. Keeps my p4 at 4.3ghz right at 35c under load with no rad and near 10c idle.



What cha think? haha

That's the most amazing block performance I haver seen.
So what cools the water?

and also guys a p4 at 4.3 doesnt get that hot.
Looks like something from Borderlands. Isn't that a bit tall to fit in a case?

LOL here is the rest of your setup u need. I made this and used a GPU waterblock i had and it cooled my Q9550 @ 4ghz. Also i ran ice water in mine and man that made the cpu run cool.

Haha right now, nothing. Maybe some ice on a warm day. I have a bong set up I just havent added it in the loop.

Yes true, its not the hottest thing out there but it is producing a bit off heat. I need to test it out on my e8200. I am leak testing it on the p4 board haha.

and It fits in my case just barely. It was more of an experiment/just for the heck of it deal. Wasn't concerned about fitment.

HAH! That setup is epic Moparman!
I had a fuel pump running mine at first but it shorted out so i got a 20 dollar fish tank pump and it flows pretty well. Also might use an old heater core for a rad haha.

What car did you grab all the parts from Moparman?
lol nice, this could spin off into a pc version of the junkyards show. Using whatever you can find around for cheap to build a stable high performance loop.
The pump is a universal 120Gph flow @ 6PSI the rad is from a 92 Dodge ramcharger. and the tank is a Dodge windshield washer tank it holds 1.8 Gal. Sys worked good till i had the TT block break.
heatercores work the best if there all copper like mine.
