After how many plates do you have to replace your milling bores/bits or whatever you call them?

 

[al_bundy]

It depends what kind of tool.
Usually 5-30h.

 

[P4-630]

It depends what kind of tool.
Usually 5-30h.

Depends on the material you are milling/drilling I guess..
You do not sharpen your drills and milling cutters yourself?

Nope dont worth, coz u loose some tens in the diameter. Or u work with offset. But this needs time in CAM.
What i have less than money is time.

Hello and welcome for the next update.

I produced a waterblock for an AMD K7 Slot A CPU.

And I produced a Ram waterblock, based on DDR3 of Corsair dominator. I will change the design with aRGB and a cover to hide the screws. The cooler will be fit by the Bykski Heatspreader.



And the CPU waterblock No. UNO was tested by Igorslab. Unfortunality the review was made by an unexperienced reviewer. By mail he said he will write (but he didn’t):

The waterblock will perform much better at a flat IHS. Coz his IHS is concave -> worst case scenario for the waterblock

He said also that my waterblock might be incompatible to some Rammodules coz the frame is too big. Naja, also other blocks in the field have the same dimensions… he never mentioned it The waterblock is designed by Intels keepoutarea.

He said the waterblock will delivered with 2 designplates. Also not true.

He said the fullmetallwaterblock destroy a copper radiator. Its not true coz the waterblock is anodized. Acrylglasframe and backplate is deformed after mounting. But why? He work with a torque of 0,6Nm. Allowed is 0,12Nm. So, the coldplate is damaged. Nevertheless he still run tests. He admitted he had some problems to mount the block. Here, everything is fine. No problems. My betatester too



So in the end the result is the last place in the field of the acrylglas UNO even he got better results bfor. He mentioned it in the article -> 5K better than at the ranking. The waterblock would be stay in the middle. The fullmetall Uno is on P5. Not that bad for the worst case scenario.



Based on that review, I will check how to use compression springs and compare the torque of other waterblocks that I will get a baseline. May be my waterblock loose some performance. I will check it in may. I build an apparatus to see how many kilos affect to the IHS.

More of my feedback u will find in the forum of igorslab on side 2 under the article. I posted also some pix how it really works and there u can find more details and a releasedate for the No. Uno 75.



Here is my own testresult of No. Uno Acryl and Alphacool Core 1.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm looking at art!

Sometimes it is hehe. I waiting of the RX 7800Xt.
Attached the first pic

Keep up the good work man. This thread was a treat for the eyes from the very start. Your cooler designs are amazing, and your workshop upgrades do tell a lot about your dedication and engineering intelligence. Aesthetics are also superb and I welcome your exquisite taste. Stay safe and take care of your health primarily, we want to have you around in the years to come. Cheers.
