looking for a watercooling block

Post by timmeh87 »

well, its winter here in Canada, and with my outdoor pond sitting at just above the freezing mark until about march, i was thinking id do an 'extreme overclocking' experiment, whereby i run pond water through a waterblock/peltier combo. hoping to reach subzero temps...

anyways, im looking for a cheap waterblock that will fit on top of my 64bit AMD Athalon 3200+ (i think thats the model #). im not really down with socket types and adapters and this and that. so i was hoping someone with some knowledge would point me in the right direction.

when i say cheap, i mean like $30 USD or less. it doesnt have to be big or fancy or anything, i think the frigid water will mostly make up for an inefficiencies in its design ;)

alternatively, a chunk of aluminum is like $10 on ebay... i was thinking of making my own. is it particularly hard to machine aluminum? i would probably just be using the 'drill 40 holes in a spiral' technique...

or hey, if you are bored of your watercooling system, why not sell me your waterblock... or trade for something?
