Nathan's T/Bird Water Cooling Project

Part 1 : Building a water block form scratch

This article shows how I went about making my own Socket A water block.

My aim was to build a block using both aluminum and copper. The most part of the block is built from aluminum as aluminum is a nice cheap metal, readily available and is easy to work with. Also I wanted to combine a small amount of copper as copper has excellent heat conductivity and heat transfer. 

As I am writing this my project is under going lots of enhancements, such as adding a HQ Holden heatercore, building a separate box to house the water cooling components and making a radiator shroud.

Processor information : 1000Mhz AMD Athlon Thunder Bird, AXIA stepping
A1000AMT3C
AXIA0116GPEW
95280451934
So far overclocked to 1400Mhz @ 1.85 Volts, MAX Overclock: 1485Mhz
