Rokk1972 · 22-August-03, 02:29 AM

Well with the first block done and with great results (test report to follow shortly) I have decided to start on Rev 2 of the Rokk Block. Here is a glimps of it

You will have to excuse my crappy PS7 skills!!

wowza now i know how you got your name CAD-Pro-Hoe

lAnonymousl · 22-August-03, 02:40 AM

I assume you're using a WW to mod?

And how is this one different from the last? Fins longer? Come on Rokk you gotta give us the details if you post a pic man.

P.S.--the background is kickin'

Ben · 22-August-03, 02:45 AM

Wow...thats nice. How are you going to machine that? Looks like a White water block to me.

ZENNZZO · 22-August-03, 02:46 AM

Yes, Indeed it is a good one, for Rokk's first design, he has done excellent. Way to go Rokk.
I'll have the report to you soon!
I've seen a sneek peek at the next version and it will, in my opinion, be hard to beat.
Class act, Bro...

Rokk1972 · 22-August-03, 03:22 AM

For all you PIMPS that want details......... They will be up soon. (Friday evening) Then you will be able to see the differnce between rev 1 and rev 2

Rokk1972 · 22-August-03, 09:26 PM

ok here are some of the differences. The upper block is rev 1 and the lower block is rev 2 First I have removed the extra thickness of the base material, changed the channel design, increased the channel height, added cuppoints to the channels, and I have also repositioned the barbed fitting locations for ease of tubing installation (not shown) I will also be making the rev 2 block out of silver instead of copper, (atleast two will be silver, one for me and my bro!!

) I will be posting pics of the finished block.

For the few that don't know, these pics are cutaway views of the blocks.

lAnonymousl · 22-August-03, 10:44 PM

Mmmmm silver. How much is that gonna set you back, 80 bucks? Also, have you tested your blocks versus the WW? A comparison would be awesome. GJ too BTW.

Rokk1972 · 23-August-03, 12:37 AM

I haven't tested it against the WW as of yet, but I did test it against my TC-4, and I blew that away!!!

Right now I have my 1700 oc'ed to 2.4 ghz with vcore @ 1.95, temps under load get to about 34 deg. C (that is without Airconditioning, I have the windows open in the computer room) Right now it is 75 deg F in the room (according to Fluke 73 w/Temp probe)

Ben · 23-August-03, 12:54 AM

How are you going to machine the block?

Rokk1972 · 23-August-03, 01:31 AM

with a milling machine!!

It is a easy program to write not anything fancy in the blocks, basic cuts, bosses, and holes (taps too)

Ben · 23-August-03, 01:37 AM

Im just asking because I was thinking not many people have a milling machine that could do that in their garage, so was thinking about your costs etc.

lAnonymousl · 23-August-03, 01:44 AM

Thats good to hear. That silver shoudl definetly make a big difference too.

Let us know the results once you've got that thing up and running. GL man.

Didn't mean to be a D!ck, I have access to milling machines at my job, and I have a fulltime machinst that works with me in R&D, so getting them manufactured isn't a problem. The rev 1 blocks Jeremy over @ Danger Den was nice enough to mill them up for me. I am not sure if he want to do it again or not, but either way I can have them machined up soon.

j-dogg · 23-August-03, 02:48 AM

i dont know why i havent used autoCAD to do something like this, guess I can't flame you for ur CAD skills lol

i thought about making a ceramic block with a spiral design and putting a copper heat spreader on the bottom

Rokk1972 · 23-August-03, 03:17 AM

j-dogg: how would you join them? Compression fitting with o-ring? And what would the ceramic do? Isn't ceramic an insulator?

BTW I like your Sig
