That is probably because your not applying a realistic pump flow pressure to your blocks.

i don't know what you mean by this

oooooo I like that looks really good, I like that port to spread the flow, how deep is that? 6mm?

well 0.000094635m3/s is 1.5gpm flow rate, so thats about correct, and 20,684pa is 3psi, a D5 at setting 5 is about 4.5psi, so I reduced the pressure at the outlet to simulate pressure drop. Obviously this is not correct but it can;t be far off, and the velocity of the water seems about right too. I;ve got no idea how to incorporate and actual pump into the sim so it's all I got for now. time for me to study up on solidworks!!

I mean your whole block looks awesome, its good to see it in greater detail. I was refering to that middle piece of Delrin/POM that has the cutout to spread the flow beneath the G1/4" inlet and outlet.

Where are you getting your pump specs from ?

I got my pump specs from the average of all the tops in this test http://skinneelabs.com/laing-d5-top-comparison/

I have a swiftech MCP655 with an EK top on it, so my pump is actually 5psi at 1.5gpm on setting 5 at 12v. Now as for what gpm the loop would be operating at with that TEC block I'm not sure but 1-1.5gpm is a good range and I usually try to achieve 1.5gpm.

I got the pressure drop from a CPU waterblock comparison, https://martinsliquidlab.wordpress.com/ ... k-preview/ I used a nominal 1.5psi pressure drop. at 1.5gpm the DT 5 NOZ has a pressure drop of about 0.5psi, as it is a straight inlet/outlet with no jetplate and uses slots there is a fair chance the 62mm TEC block will be less restrictive as there are more slots for the fluid to flow through, so I could probably run the simulation again with a 0.000094635m3/s inlet volume flow (1.5gpm) and a 31026pa outlet pressure (4.5psi), that would simulate my swiftech MCP655 at 12v on setting 5 with my EK top outputting 4.75psi and a pressure drop of 0.25psi from the TEC block.

Sound plausible?

EDIT; there is some kind of "nozzle" inside the DT 5 NOZ, hence the "NOZ", so it is quite possible that the restriction/pressure drop from the large 62mm TEC block is quite low.

So once I verify that it works you can make 1 block to rule them all. You wouldn't even have to supply the adapter. Just link the Swiftech page.

across the mounting brackets it's 94mm

Does any one have a problem if i increase the current 90mm side to 94mm. cos this is a obvious way to improve performance. it would allow me to move my end mounting screws further back and allow for more metal at the ends to prevent bowing.

oh yes also the 600 to 800 watts people were trying to stick inot my block how was the made up ?

200 from the CPU and 400 from the TEC ?

Would this prevent it from being mounted on my AMD CPU?

yes it is very unrestrictive

just from the top of my head ( not the actual numbers)

Slot Area is 93mm combined . Much MORE than the inlet. Which is why anything that is done to reduce this further can backfire.

This means that the velocity down each slot is quite low.

It will be higher once i remove some of the slots to make the fins stronger.
