ETA for heatsink?
I like that silverstone one! maybe add 1-2"" on the bottom, put the temp displays right on that front slanted section! If you could get your speaker idea working, you could put it in the sides...
Maybe you should make top and bottom out of aluminum and sides out of acrylic? Then you wouldn't have to worry about scratching the top or bottom, but could get some cool inside views of it!
Also what areyou planning on making the cooler out of? I was thinking probably aluminum, but acrylic could look pretty sweet too, then you could show off your hard work inside :p
Unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable about speakers lol, only thing I could think of would be cracking open a cheap pair of speakers and mounting the insides into the pad, probably not a very...
looks pretty good! only two suggestions I could think of: maybe put some curve in the bottom, or something to allow airflow to both sides of the rad, would help keep things cool, and maybe find a way...
I agree im pooped too lol, catch ya later, can always send me a pm if you got any questions or what not, I don't know everything but I can always do my best :D or just post it here and let the...
D; no kidding! that's like..forever to wait!
Speaking of bad thoughts to worse, under my name and post count, I'm now apparently an ATX Mental Case rofl
Sweet, let me know whenever you get that sketch done! I think we've covered most of the things I could think of till we see the sketch.
Also, tell your wife I'm sorry for giving you such bad ideas...
Pic still not working for me, but regardless, can you give me an estimated distance between your two chips? im just curious as to possibilities of linking them..more or less something like...
From a bit of google magic, best way to find laptop power drain is, surprise, a kill-a-watt on the ac adapter :D you could use that to find the power of your lappy at load, though since, from more...
Couple things come to mind:
I'm a bit confused as to how you'd get just one set of quick disconnects would work for both blocks :P If you wanna make a quick paint sketch or something to clarify...
For the pump, I'm not sure. It honestly depends on the pump, and how it likes to run at lower voltages. Some just won't run under a certain voltage, say 8v or so. Others wont run at all unless at...
Lol exactly. For the quick disconnects, I was thinking putting rubber grommets around the holes in the cooling pad, so that its not metal on metal and would prevent a lot of scratching. Another...
AHAH! I checked that water cooled laptop thread..then went to his website, and found that it was a bad link to his pump :/ so I looked at the pic..and saw a company name on a manual behind...
Fluid is easy, just a silver coil and some distilled, since you probably won't be seeing much of it :)
The disconnects are expensive, and tend to kill flow quite hard, but since its not like you...
Dil what kinda rads do you have? :D
Well, a couple of things come to mind:
For the reservoir, could mount it at the back of the cooling pad (e.g., the higher end) so that you can see it, use an acrylic one, something like...
Hmm, if youre using a cooling pad under it, that could give you a lot more freedom, you could use small waterblocks on the cpu and gpu with the intake/output nozzles going straight down, into the...
