I am to do a college project on Watercooling a PC (my choice) and would love any info or pictures on the matter from anybody who has done similar.

Sourced a lot of images from the Internet but still need a high res pic of the actual copper inside a gpu and cpu waterblock.


Also information on temperature drops and heat exchange would be welcome.

Thanks in advance :D
 
Here you go:

That's the copper from a block for a Radeon x1900XTX (left) and a socket 939 Athlon X2 64 (right)

Edit, to be precise they are:

Alphacool NexXxoS ATI X1800XL/XT/XT PE Graphics Card Cooler

And

Aquacomputer Cuplex XT Block Athon64

Seriously when did college projects become so simple - i.e go to the internet find some pictures and get other to help me pass..........

I'm not asking anybody to help me pass.

I have pictures/info/experience from my own watercooling build but I didn't take my waterblock apart and take a picture with my DSLR.

However, if someone on the forums HAS it would save me a lot of effort
 
RE: Temp drops. I'm running MSI R9 290 in crossfire. One is w/c the other is not. Playing games Watercooled one is hitting 60 and the non wc is reaching 95 degrees C but the card might be throttling at that temp.

It's all contained under a subject called thermodynamics :)

Just read around Wikipedia to get an idea, some articles to get you started:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conduction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_contact_conductance
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

The problem with Wikipedia is that it's not great for learning maths from so Google for the terms you see there and try and find university materials with examples.
Even better do you know someone who studied mechanical engineering? hopefully they'll have all their old thermodynamics books that you could borrow, I still have all mine.

I have done AS mechanical and A level Electrical engineering so I have a basic understanding of thermodynamics.

Obviously I am not expecting all the information I need to be in this thread, just some help and guidance :p
