Hi guys, I'm in need of suggestions concerning some project I wanna start: the best performing waterblock...
I've the ability to create my own waterbloc freely at high school, but........

I need help, I'm trying to find out how we could optimize a waterblock to the max, to make it as efficient as possible, I mean, I've some ideas in mind, but a little help is welcome... With the help of some friends and some scientists I may be able to squeeze performance out of the block... But I'm still a noob concerning watercooling so.... help me... if it works we can look for a way to produce some more of them and sell it... if it works you could benefit of it.

What's e.g. the best kind of design I should use? What are the most important points I may not forget...

Thanx for any help...

PS: I edited this message in the hope I could get some real suggestions or help, about the ice-cream: it's a little bit of non-sense, de-ionized water?-> at high school we have a filtering machine which makes hundreds of liters water, not so expensive (cos I can get it free

) and about the fins: I think I'm gonna do kinda Innovatek rev.3 way (seems to be the best performing WB of the moment), fins are quite difficult to use in this case...

Find a way to make it pump ice cream! Seriously! Anything with a lower freezing point than water will make great for a cooling system, and Ice cream is easy to get...although, you'd have to have mondo radiator cooling to get it as chilly as you want it...hmm...

Or, make a system where de-ionized water (fairly expensive to create though) is used, so that in case of leakages there would be no shorting out. Water (H20) does not conduct electricity, it's the minerals and contaminants in it that do....maybe submerge a computer in deionized water that sits on some giant cold plate....God I'm crazy.

And if it starts leaking.... well, break out some cones and Cadburies flakes

I have no idea

Except maybe model the interior of a radiator - lots of little vertical pathways with an "in" and an "out" at either side

Do anyone know a site where you got explained what design is the best or how the best waterbloc (heard something about Innovacool, something like that) looks like inside?

Could help me sort things out and see if the design of the waterbloc I wanted to create isn't too eccentric...

Considering that you're at school, it would be a VERY good idea to ask your CHEMISTRY AND/OR PHYSICS TEACHERS. THEY KNOW these things. They had to study the way matter works and how temperatures change etc to get their degrees that got them their positions.
