One of our resident cooling pimpmastahs, ZENNZZO, has done a nice article on his direct-die cooling setup. Hard-core stuff...

Read the article here.

pics aint workin

i see em but no size increase when i select them (read click)

nice artical zen i like your writting style you write how i think

This is the pimpest shznit ever! Way to go man. Cudos to you!

There were supposed to be pics? I saw lots of text, and some pics at the end...

I wish I hit temps like that, but that's far more work/maintenance and expense than I can deal with. There's a reason I use air for cooling... speaking of which, I need to vaccum Bob out of my heatsink... Yes, my dust bunnies have names.

hey zen wanna redo a block and take pics of it for everyone and then donate the finished product to me? Great job on the block and artical.take care of that baby will ya sounds like a piece of history...if not for the puter people but at least for PR. thanks for sharing

TLM, that's from my upbringing, My folks alway said "get to the point" son.
Slider,Thanx dood.you're right there in the mix as well.
Out, Don't think I havn't got all their cousins inbetween my fan and radiator and I got just one name for dem mo*%xX##s.

Flounder,
That's not totally out of the question. Every AM I keep looking under my pillow to see if the AMD fairy left me a 3200+barton
I havn't found one yet!! The next one I do "will" have tons-o-pics

Nice job, Bro.

See what happens when you throw them good ideas out there,
Someone is bound to catch them...Thanx again BA Cheers

that is fricking "cool" ZENNZZO great job on the project and the artical

I'd be ticked the site is so slow if it wasn't for such a good reason. Enjoy your 15 minutes ZENN, you earned it with guts, can-do attitude and blistered thumbs. w00tski!!!

AntiM
Word....bro
and the space bar let's me know it!!!
It looks like I'm need to tape em up and get to work too.
how long ya think this is gonna last?

hum would this work with p4 chips?

well i guess it should, but what about the heatspreader on the chip....wouldnt it corrode?

and say you have a poverfull pump...could it crush the core with the pressure its putting on it?

Clown,
I'm using a Danner 250 mag drive. The jet just aims efficient water flow at the die to insure even cooling, it's all about the smooth flow over the die, exposing as much water surface as possible, thats why turbulence is good. It's not a "peel the paint off" kind of pressure.Then the outlet is a little larger so the water can leave the Die area easier with less pressure
As for the heat spreader on the P-4, I would think that it is stronger and more durable that silicon. And the fact that they run a little cooler anyway. I've never peeled one open. How much bigger is the die compared to a "1/2 a postage stamp" Barton?
I think it's safe to say ...piece-o-cake

Dude,if youre goin D2D cooling,peel that damn spreader off!...lol

would that be risky, case in doin taht u would prbobly rip the core off as well...

but then again would be worth it.....

anybody has a dead p4 chip, to see how easy or hard it is to peel of the heatspreader?

I'm not sure how the spreader is attached to the die. I assume with a thermal adhesive. I hadn't seen any articles where they peel it off.

I'm sure someone has a couple links, though.

I saw a video of someone milling it off! Don't remember where.

here you go....found this

what about a copper block that has no bottom and just glue it on top of the cpu, or better yet solder it to it.
