Upgrade!

I do!!!   How much?   I skimmed through this thread looking at the pics and they look awesome!!  Is there a procedure for mounting the fittings?   I've only used koolance, EK, and danger den stuff in the past so is there anything different with a custom one........besides higher quality?
 
Also,  if anyone is overclocking e5620's I could use a template with one of the newer bios's.  I created a thread with please please please in the title if anyone would care to help.  Yeah I know the title's kinda lame.  I knew it would be different overclocking dual chips, but I didn't think it would be this different from a 920.

do you still have someone sending you an SR-X? if not, ill send you mine if you pay for shipping, im broke (quit my terrible call center job) and cant even afford the processors so its just going to be a very expensive showpiece for a while unless you use it for the block making.

i still need it pretty badly, i need to sell the computer im using currently so i need this build up and running eventually (like in a few months at least) just dont have a processor yet.

Price of copper just went up between last week and now :(

That sucks.

along with the CPU blocks (so you can gauge clearances etc) this should be on its way to you soon.
check out the build in my sig for more pictures.

It really doesn't look all too different from my SR2 block.  I already think I can get the left Vreg block to attach to the main block, but it will cost a fortune to make it full copper.  It would have to be a plastic topped block to make it affordable.  But either way it will take some brainstorming on my part and some calipers.
 
Is this board on its way to my house yet?!  :)

Not sure, but I will let you know when it arrives.

No worries.  I look forward to the start!

Got a few blocks in this batch, Some copper tops, delrin tops, AND some smoked plexi.  Still haven't started this batch so by all means message me.
 
All pm's replied too. 
 
 

I love the pics of the Delrin topped SR-2 and DD blocks ... it is a sweet looking set ... waiting for my set

Have you made any progress on your new machine for an expanded product line?

I just stumbled onto this thread.  I have 4 SR-2's and seem to be having some issues with overheating.  Your waterblock may be a solution.  I don't seem to have a problem with the CPU's as I keep the ambient to 68 F and have dual fan Cooler Masters on them and only run 161 Clock.  I am running Dual Nvidia 2550's so I suspect nF200 heat problems.  What are pro's cons of delrin vs copper tops.  Certainly delrin should be cheaper and top isn't used for heat transfer. 
2nd option is make vs buy.  I have already cnc'd my X2 and X3.  X2 full ball screws with anti-backlash nuts.  X3 still in progress on ACME screws. Works but I got sidetracked to getting my cluster fully functional.
Thanks

Welcome to the forums!

You won't have the travel on the X2 to make this (if its stock).  I started on the X2 and quickly realized the Y limitations. Thats when I had to upgrade it.

I doubt there will be much different with copper vs Delrin tops.

Besides looks, wouldn't the biggest difference between the two be the ability for the copper top to do chilled water. The delrin top could crack under the colder temps, where as the copper top obviously would not.
