Project: L3p L4n - Custom Fullcover Mars II waterblock

[l3p-NL]

It will be just nickel plated like many other WC blocks.
Temperature difference is negligible

Small update/teaser


Mill-route-check of the blocks backside.




Almost done! (movie completely failed cause of the coolant used while milling :/ )




Really can't wait to assemble this with the backplate, POM top en MARSII!






Maybe more this weekend

Received a very nice package this weekend from Ivo.

Sorry for the amount of pictures, didn't know which ones to delete : )
Everything is clickable to 2560 pixels.






Somehow I didn't dare to unpack : P





And actually stared at it for half an hour before doing anything : )





As you can see there isn't much left from the 10.6 kg.
The copper part weight is now exactly 1.8kg.





I really think I'm going to nickel plate it.
Copper part is already oxidizing after a few weeks.





But what a job Ivo did ... (And Daniel off course in front!)





POM next to it.





And the 'screwless' backplate.








Just had to put it together fast : )

Next day some pics in the sun.


























Exploded view.

[l3p-NL]

Original red aluminum parts on it.








First time testing the M3 holes with stainless steel I ordered at Highflow








Hmmm nickelplate it?








Think I'm going to polish the POM.





For a next time. : )





Ok .... it just screamed to be polished : D





Love Coca Cola.

[l3p-NL]

Love the result : )
(Camera didn't with all that light)




















And put it together once more for you guys : )











Ivo and Daniel ... Real craftsmanship!
Thanks a very lot to be able to be so close to all this!!!


Now .... let's enjoy the nice weather over here : )

Hang on to that 8.8kg, mate! If a good motherboard contains about 8 ounces, that will be enough for almost 40 motherboards... And seemingly the copper resurces are more limited than the oil ones... Soon you will be reach!

BTW, a really nice job!

Is it the weight of the whole thing too heavy ? Will there be any brackets to help hold it in place ?

[l3p-NL]

The card will probably weight just under 2kg in total. However It's placed standing on top of the mainboard.
Don't think I'll need any brackets since the waterpipes will hold it in place too

Nice can't wait to see it mounted in to your case!
