no new news yet. After pushing to 1.85V the results weren't as good. The copper was getting nice and warm. So my thought here is that finer and more wire will allow the heat to get out to the air. As it is now, the cheapy 120 fan I guess wasn't so cheap (Yate Loon) and was putting out some good air. When I used a 92mm the temp was up. Still I'm motivated because 1.85v and a Duron 650@1050 puts out a lot of watts and I'm pretty convinced I can make this design perform. Had to fill in for our Data Admin guy at work this week so, haven't been able to get down to the electrode supplier during business hours. Should only take a couple hours to put together the next one. For sure I'll let everyone know. Got to beat that UGLY Swiftech ha ha. What gives with all that shine and symmetry? God I'm gonna puke. ha ha

If you could make the "pins" thinner, you'd have a winner. Though, I really think the way to go is to have a nice thick copper base and aluminum fins. Maybe your next project should be made out of silver...
edit: Didn't see your post about thinner wire. Is there any way to reduce the oxidation on the copper? Maybe some oil? It'd rock if it were nice and shiny.

Very cool project, I commend your efforts. Let us know with more thorough testing, how it stacks up against the commercial competition.

You're talking to a former sheet metal guy.
Seriously, its not the shine, its the corrosion that stunts the transfer. Shine is fine and all, but its not necessary by design. Go for surface area, like you already theorized. Surface area is the key to the heat transfer. A certain amount of symmetry is necessary to prevent hotspots.
Happy tinickling!

I love it.. keep it all crazy and all over the place.. no two alike.. we need a break from symetry and mathematical design.. I love this thing.. but yeah, look into mass producing it with a copper base and aluminum snakes.. nice one.. it's fvckin amazing!!!!
THE 'FRO hilarious

Not so much corrosion.... but the rosin.
The whole thing was piping hot and the flux and rosin just got everywhere.
Feels like it weighs about a pound.
The key was to wrap the base of the wires with motor winding. Then place the sink on a flat piece of aluminum. Upright. Solder was then allowed to flow to the very base of the wires and form about a 3/8" thick puck with no voids. This allows even the wires well away from the die to share in the removal of heat. Since the solder won't stick to the aluminum once it's cool you just lift it off and flatten the base. Without using gravity this would be real tough to accomplish. Its kind if like casting in place. Thanks for the comments and I can't wait for ver.2.

Now that is wierd...yet cool at the same time
That for a water cooling setup though? I didn't catch that part. Or is it like a HSF? Put a fan over top of it (some how) and have air blwowing on it or sucking away?

Neat Project. Innovative.
I really like the 'FRO, that is funny.
How about the "Coral Cooler" kinda looks like coral..
ah best I could come up with.
Two thumbs BUMP!
