Project : HYBRID COOLING

[valdus_heresi]

Hi all

I introduce myself, Valdus, I make a hybrid system for graphics card since... 2014.

(Sorry for my bad English, I'm french)

I started hybrid systems on the Gtx 780 in 2014 and for the Gtx 980 in 2015/2016, and now, I'm making a new version. Best and one made professional.

I use a large numbers of machine (milling machine for example) and 3D software for the design.

Finally the first achievement!
(a lot of work to be done yet)

I was making the piece with aluminium, then she was anodized and engraved

 

[valdus_heresi]

Thank you orbitalwalsh !
I appreciate Alphacoool, especially for their backplate (great performance)

 

[valdus_heresi]

Oups, sorry Orbitalwalsh, I didn't see your message
There is an incompatibility between power 8pin, and backplate, no?

(Very nice pictures )

Last news:

A large heatsink, really heavy and anodized.

She is going to be cut, drill and tapping (not sure of the words in English )

The copper will be positioned between frontplate/Heatsink and GDDR5X.

Thank you very much!
I'll make sure everything is perfect.

Many thanks to antec. My new sponsor. (and aquatuning who sponsored me since 2014)
I'll make an adapter to install their AIO on any graphics card.

thanks Cenedd

Yes... It's not easy. A lot of precision in movement. (Do not create "waves")

 

[valdus_heresi]

How have you connected the pieces together to make it look seemless? Countersunk screws from underneath?

Tapping M3 on the frontplate
Tapping M3 on the heatsink.

And what have you used to give such a smooth matt black finish so quickly? ...or are the edges still bare but cunningly shadowed so we can't see them?!

I used a paint (airbrush) to not interfere with heat dissipation.

Just for you, Packshot photography!

Thanks for the compliments!

Copper heat plates.

Yes!

Probably the better design than trying to account for the height differences by using a whetstone to mill down the aluminium Very tiring that!

Thanks to Bitspower to trust me and to sponsor my Hybrid cooling system.
They will take care to provide me with the internal parts (fittings) and chrome tubing.

For the occasion, I'm their create a fairing and a backplate dedicate to this company.

VRM Safety !

Spoiler

 

[valdus_heresi]

Look nicely made. Are they to transfer heat from the black plate to the copper attached to the Heat killer SW-X? At first I thought it wasnthe other way round.

The "VRM safety" creates a pressure between the waterblock and VRM (for a good heat exchange).
