Old school watercooling question....

[Audiofight]

Alright. I am up on the watercooling scene.

My current P4 rig is watercooled (custom built) and runs at 30C idle....not sure what full load is yet....still testing

Anyways....I was wondering if someone knows of a waterblock that was designed to fit the Slot1 Pentium2/3 processors?

I know the Maze1 is being sold by Dangerden still but doesn't have any hardware for mounting it on the processor....anyone know of a waterblock with hardware ready to go?

If not, Maze1 w/ custom hardware will have to suffice. But I figure if I am going to spend $60 for 2 Maze1 blocks to watercool my dually server....why not try to get pre-made mount kits too.

Do P2 and P3 procs still run? Ha Ha! Do they generate enough heat to warrant water cooling? Second, If you cant find the right hardware, email me @ stevennoland0146@msn.com with a drawing (rough schematic) of the mounting hardware. I'm a machinist by trade, and for the right price, I could fabricate it for you. Good luck.

Ouch....

My dual P3 450 and dual P3 650 servers run just great. Give them a PCI IDE controller to increase transfer rates from the hard drive to the 100MB network and they make great game/file servers. I use one for my Linux test box and one for my 2003 Server test box. Gotta learn the OS in order to utilize it in the job field.

It isn't the heat factor that makes me want to watercool the dual 650 rig...it is the fact that I have all the parts except for waterblocks laying around from making my P4 rig. I have a spare radiator and pump...

I am modding out a case for the Lan party server and figured a self-contained watercooling kit would top off the whole effect nicely. Window kits, lit fans, lazer cut fan grills, custom paint jobs....etc. etc.

I have a schematic drawn up already of what is needed.....but I will need to make some measurements unless you can make adjustable hold-downs for it (slots for the bolts to move through or something)

If you have a way to get it to me, great! Hope to hear from ya. I'm building a water cooled system right now. If ya want to see, email me and I'll send ya some pics.
