Bumping this great thread to ask what's the status now. With the unlocked octacore from Intel coming out soon, this would be nice to cool down Haswell-E.

Yup. Nate, you have interested customers in here :D

I can bet a bunch of guys here and on OCN/XS would line up for this if it means getting that octacore close to 5 GHz on water.

4 years and 2 months - or round abouts.

Let's agree on 4 days and 2 hours then for some prototypes :D

 
Sounds good, I agree!

Well, it's been almost 6 years since the OP, and a little over a year and a half since the last post. So I think it's time to bring this one back from the dead again. Come on Nateman, you know you want to complete this adventure. I'm still very interested in this setup for my X99 board.

ha! you guys will just not let this go :)
 
The power of procrastination compels you!  The power of procrastination compels you!
 
I wish you would have posted this earlier when I had nothing doing.  I am in the middle of an X99 Micro2 batch.

Story of my life, always a minute late and dollar short lol. I am still interested though. I know that it may not be the "prettiest" option out there, but sometimes as I've seen you and Dave B say "function over form". I would love any way possible to remove a little more heat from my CPU. That is without going phase change or LN2 lol. Need something a little more practical for my 24/7 use.

HAH Yes, function over form ALWAYS!
Also agreed, Nateman needs to build the next gen of this.  I remember your old first version on the X58 all those years ago.
Don't say Phase isn't 24/7 practical or you might get Hallowen in here telling you he does it and showing you how  :)
 
 
Comeon Nateman, give me a reason to not buy a Raystorm Pro for my next upgrade, or the big EK.

Haha, I knew I could get you to post.

Let me rephrase the part about phase change. Phase change is not 24/7 practical on my wallet lol.

I'm also in need of a CPU block upgrade. I've got an Alphacool NeXXoS block. And while it was OK for the 2600k that my system was originally built around, it leaves much to be desired on my 5930K. So I've been contemplating an upgrade to something newer and better. I just figured if I were to do anything it needed to be this. And that would give me a reason to finally install my nateman_doo X99 FTW board blocks.

I actually did a complete redesign of it. I have to look around for the CAD designs somewhere... 

Yes, progress. Even if it's just a little bit lol. Well if you get around to moving on and want some funds for prototyping materials let me know. I'm sure I can come up with something to move this along .

Of course i would.... I have been a huge fan of this idea since he first mentioned it.
Yeah, not good for my wallet either lol.

You're a bad influence, hallowen. Keep up the good work.

Agreed, he is a terrible influence, and that is why he is awesome 

Oye Vey... you guys kill me with this :)
Ironically, I have 2 huge chunks of copper sitting in my basement for Hallow and John, that were specifically for chiller/LN2/DICE application.  It is one block to rule them all.  By huge, I mean a few pounds.  Each block is close to 10 lbs.  I still have these blocks with about an inch of dust on top of them.
 
As for this, I think I mentioned I have a re-design.  Just have to get busy with a slitting saw.  I still have a base already machined I could use.  Just need to get a section of copper for the top and get to milling.  
 
Will require special tooling, and work holding.  But, like I said, I do still have the CAD files, so that is a plus.

Well, I am planning an upgrade in the next year, so that sounds to me like you need to get working on this but you still have a good amount of time :)
You also can't announce something that awesome, and show a working prototype, AND get some tests that show how good it is then NOT make it.  We have no intention of letting it go.

+1 to this. Sounds like this will be needed for some of the new CPU's coming out. Heck even with some of the better offerings out there I'm still not happy with the temps on my current 5930K. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if anything is needed just give me a shout and I'll do my part to further the cause ;)
