[AF] Andreoid & Finnzwerg watercool tinkering (TONS OF PIX)

Andreoid · Nov 9, 2009

Hi everybody!
I would like to show you some pictures what I (André) with a friend (Finn) do tinker in our free time.
We both come from Cologne, Germany.

Our crafting threads on hobby basis consist in many forums since 2007.
The self made waterblocks have exited many readers, and some of you allready know our homemade coolers. Maybe some of you allready had discovered our pictures in the waterblock-picture-threads in other forums. With the handcafted coolers and complete Mainboardsets we leisurely got a name in watercooling by cooling enthusiasts.

In close cooperation with many forum users, we have developed a lot of waterblocks.
Often, you can take part of the developement and be really close with decisions here in the forum.

I hope that u are going to like reading my posts! ^^

at the beginning a picture from our old workshop in my basement:

Left side: a noise-protection-box with CNCs, on the right...our manual drill.
at the bottom: this is me...gluing the CNC coolant effluent

the workshop was really small.
It was 9m² and is now too small for our new CNC
But see below for more

our standard Northbridgestruktur on the left - right side, our logo (ΛF) [ André & Finn] mowed in lawn: D

left side, our first CNC - right, a couple of EVGA 680i PWM copper bottoms

here our new CNC milling machine ...
here in the thread you can follow the assembling

from the CAD to the implementation of the real machine

and here are a few waterblocks ^^

the old basement was much, much too small for our new CNC machine...so we watched out for a new room.
An acquaintance have had a little space for ous in his wooden hall.
The place was just twice as large as my cellar, but hopefully that will be enough space for our new workshop.

in the next few posts I will provide you with pictures of building the new workshop,.. so stay tuned

MfG [ΛF] Andreoid & [ΛF] finnzwerg

edit:
hmmm? why does the IMG tag not work?

d50man · Nov 10, 2009

Looks great just find a good metal supplier and crank those coolers out and export to the U.S.

Cheers i'm in for 2

Main · Nov 10, 2009

Unfortunately these guys are dealing with ~ ten year old designs. So don't expect the performance to be on top.
I did these designs myself - and actually found out that the sandblasting was better, the sandblasting method got the copper to raise against the waterstream.

When that is said - this must be a hell of a interesting hobby

and for niche products it is probably some business in it too.

Andreoid · Nov 11, 2009

export to the us would be nice

^^

10 year old design?
hmm i dont think so,..if i design totay a waterblock it iss design from today,... dont you think so? ^^
or did u ment sth other?
and yes... i love this hobby ^^
maybe i will get a lathe in a month can't wait for it...

the room for the new workshop at the beginning looked like this:

Storage -.- good that vacuum cleaner exists ^^

The wall you can see here is the wall to the outside.
We have embedded a couple of thick fiberglass mats so it's not going to be so cold in winter.

it is finally a more lighted workshop ... This is much better than a cellar

over the fiberglass mats, was stapled a protective film

then we started with the casing:

here the first wall is finished:

That was't this easy with the 2 oblique beams

and here the second wall

Then we started with the ceiling, here is Finn tightening the plates of Rigips

it was the first time we did something
of course, have forgotten the smal beams under the Rigips-plates -.-
otherwise it would have been much more straight..... annoying

While this here looks like total disability, but I'll show it ....
forgot the tissue-bound and the mixture was not the right thing ...
afterwards a friend of mine came over and has corrected our faults ^^

-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------

so, that I not only bother you with dirty pictures of building the workshop
here something brilliant:

Finn and I had bought two 16GB USB Flash Drives supertallent
these were ideal to refine ^^

very slowly and carefully engraved with the CNC

like it?

Maybe a new design for you ... but for others it is a very old design

You have reinvented the wheel again

Andreoid · Nov 13, 2009

hmm okay the exfrs cpublock is based on old technic
but design (i mean the look) is new,..or does "design" mean the technic in your expression?
then you are right ^^ yes... its just an nozzle technic.. nothing new or impressive

but in technic...this one i had made, i have never seen anywhere before
http://pic.leech.it/i/bc586/e44c0f2errtekopie.jpg
this is the inner of my last cpu block, the soleil01

here an simulation what an user made for me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_W1Tm6Mqus

http://pic.leech.it/i/18f60/ed04575fafsoleil7.jpg

the water flows down in the smaler inletchamber
flows though the multi-intake-fingers over the copper
then through the stainless steel down in the copper-chanels
there the water goes only a very short way to left and right ...
an then directly outwards by the multi-outlet-fingers

Can you make a micro pin base ??

http://www.swiftnets.com/ASSETS/IMAGES/PRODUCTS/XT-BASE.JPG

PS3 · Nov 15, 2009

Looks like quality craftsmanship to me. You guys should open an ebay shop. I wonder if your prices would be competitive.

Andreoid · Nov 18, 2009

yes i can,...but it would take a long time

or a normal shop ;P

building the workshop goes on

Finn was afraid that he will get cold feet in winter

so he had insulated the floor additionally

well protected during working with the circular saw

and the saw does its work

Today, another cameraman
(I was sitting at home with a fresh operated hernia at this time)

The new floor has been moved up into the last corner:

ready:

whether it works... i dont know
cause we have never worked without the wooden floor

The 2 best helpers during the work: heater ... and music

-------------------------------------------

here 2 full surround views:

http://anfi-tec.de/forenbilder/ausbau2/gr9.JPG

for a large view, click on the link under the pictures.

http://anfi-tec.de/forenbilder/ausbau2/gr10.JPG

-------------------------------------------

it was -10 ° C outside and this we noticed by the single-glazed window -.-
so finn taped a thick foil in front...it worked very well

Then they went on with the inside working
First made a couple of drawers
which lend themselves well as a surface to do the cuts

and the first factory-bank (with sitting-height) was finished

it is dark outside ... more red

and the 2 workers are exhausted

-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------

and now something for everyone who doesnt look in here for building workshop pictures:

my sister bought her aan dell-laptop... she said that it is too impersonal
so I've levered out the logo and made 2 plaques to engrave preturned

first try...

here the cnc made some mistakes with the "n"

not difficult to guess what's her name ^^

i hope that i can show you something diffentent than engraving works next time

regards [ΛF] Andreoid

King Icewind · Nov 21, 2009

Sweet, man.

Do you have any tests of your blocks compared to others?

Also, would you make flash drives covers for my business, K & B Tech. Would be pretty sweet to have our name etched into one. How much would that cost? PM me.

Andreoid · Nov 26, 2009

i thing u would besser search someone in your near to engrave something

Let's get for something of the tinkering which may be missing in no instance

the music ^^

I had 2 large PA speakers left, but the tweeter were broken

opened and located

the small hair-wires were torn down at the focal points -.-

very thin

So out of that glue

soldered a new thicker wire

Top out again, and solder them

tested works

- assembling

and in the new workshop

-------------------------------------------------------

In the workshop it went on.
all the drawers were finished and the workintables were completed

stuff-boxes

many other stuff what we've transportet in the new workshop
and a new heater we bought too

computer for controling for cncs

------------------------------------------------------

last but not least something for the watercooling-junkys:
I once i have tested whether Soleil fullcopperblock can be produced economically:
I have 3 pieces of milled
View from below:

done (cut / thread / etc) from the bottom with Oring

upside

complete with bracket screws floor and then he looked like this:

We will keep the top here and investigate whether any material change has an effect on the performance of the cooler

in large quantities (economic production) as the Soleil POM-top can not produce the fullcopperblock with our current resources[/ b]
for everyone who does not know it yet:

Soleil01 with black pom-top

the problems in producing the fullcopperblock are:
the bevel on mice top
The countersunk screws
The threading ger G1 / 4 "thread (I do this by hand, because the cordless electric screwdriver is to weak)
greater tolerance transgressions because the production is simply too difficult to edit material as plastic
maybe we could produce fullcopperblock economically with the big cnc later, but then it would kill the time by changing the cutting-tools manually

so an automatic tool change spindle for the big cnc must be purchased...
(but free in the required size, it will cost about € 10,000 incl
accessories such as tool holders, ac drives, pneumatic actuation)
*hmmpf* ... so saving money saving money saving money :'(
regards [ΛF] Andreoid

Andreoid · Dec 8, 2009

Continuing with the entrance into the workshop ... it had happened a lot.
The insulation-box has already been set up and the control PCs with monitors have been installed.
Works in comparison to the old workshop really lost in the space

But before the CNCs were able to move back in the box, they had to be serviced in first.

The Model-aluminum CNCs dont tolerate the coolant for miling and the copper in any way.
The CNC base are totally corroded. Thus, a AluCNC is nothing for eternity if one manufactures waterblocks.

Then the machines into the box, and production begins ^^

Large workshops want to accommodate large machines

our new helper

handy

although we have windows in the new workshop, one should not be missed,
The poster out of the first workshop... this now become indeed the third workshop ^^
hope we can stay in there for a longer time as in the other workshops -.-

regards [ΛF] Andreoid

Andreoid · Dec 15, 2009

here sth new out of the new workshop

can you see, what this is going to be?

furthermore one need this caps

and a big strong vice

our Anfi-tec Logo as positiv form

made out of brass

and a opposite side out of plastic

in complete this is a logo-die ;D
put a cap in it

put the finger away

and turn off strong

finished

made this some more times

now you've seen the cover ... but the other part of the cap (the can) is still missing ...
but that does not remain unfilled

one take for each can:
an empty can
an eXFRS CPU Waterblock
with montingmaterial
and manual

here the block

padding the can a bit

put the block inside

some more padding

finished is the most exclusive waterblock-packaging of all times

regards [ΛF] Andreoid

PS3 · Dec 15, 2009

I like how you pack the waterblock. Nice custom touch to it. Be nice if someone can finally give swiftech a run for it's money. That company is really dominating.

Andreoid · Jan 14, 2010

Today there are only a short on our CNC milling machine

We bought us a 2nd high-frequency spindle for the smaller CNC.
It has to be fastened.
I cut an aluminum plate and drilled the corresponding mountingholes:

The black rectangular plastic piece around the spindle neck is already an air lock made from Pom.
The spindle has a couple of air ducts for cooling and it's almost like a hair dryer.

In addition to the plate it does require a splash protection because of the coolant.
This should be placeable as quickly and practically, and not direct the air downwards.

So, a customized plexiplatte was formed with a heat gun
Drille the Holes for the air-outlets

and filed

Then we still need more flexible ...
Double-sided tape to fix:

Then something plastic film

The spindle with its holder looks like this:

then the pom-air lock:

and splash protection:

protection simply stuck through with the stress of the plexi.

On the picture you can see the air ducts also:

and this will protect the whole when milling the waterblocks

regards [ΛF] Andreoid

Andreoid · Feb 6, 2010

atm I don't post this much

Finn takes care at the most necessary in the workshop during the week.
I am mainly in my home community in Krefeld and in the middle of an exam period.
Way to making here some new things such as, for example, Set compilations:

http://www.anfi-tec.de/Kompatibilitaetsliste.pdf

Despite that we are both having too much to do much outside of Anfi-tec,
there are a few small changes not only online.

Our garage get increases!
One of my former trainers has remind me in resolutiuon his hobby workshop
and had sold me its well-preserved Robling lathe

I've came along with a good buddy of me and picked up the lathe with much too small trailer.

On the ceiling is a chain was fastened to steel beams... the chain was, however,
hopelessly overwhelmed with the Turn, which we even had to let the air out of the tires.

The "Little one" probably weighs as to the 600-700kg.
Here the car, but .. not yet finished lashed.

Our dear neighbor has helped us with his ant to unload.

Now the lathe is on a pallet and wait to move into the workshop

Because this must happen before a proper foundation has yet to be cast.
This requires a bit of wood for a frame

Or direct a child's coffin: X

Then removed the woodden ground with a circular saw at the appropriate place:

Now that's missing is the concrete, but .. that will come when it is a bit more warm.

Before coming up questions whether we now are able to produce fittings, ...no!
At first, the lathe is not yet set up and, secondly, it is conventional
(ie no CNC machine) for mass production. But I hope that we have a few
more options when tinkering with things as water coolers.

btw ...
in the middle of next week I'll get loan one P55 EVGA FTW
from the user "fhantastic" from "Forumdeluxx"

Andreoid · Feb 19, 2010

now i show you some waterblocks for the EVGA P55 FTW 200

the design of the NB / SB cooler at first looked like this

required after the first fitting of Plexidummys add another notch
and I have reduced the engravings somewhat...
well here you can see why:

here he is Finn assembling the cooler:

the NB / SB cooler does work like our last MSI 790FX full cover block:

(das Bild ist von dem LUXX User Schlingel_INV)
He uses the thermal conductivity of the copper
The SB does not have much heat and so a copper bridge is enough.
the woeld be only space for one channel, what you can see here

Then one of the fittings would have to sit between the graphics cards. -.-

The space for the voltage transformer cooler was not that huge,.. so I had to build up in the air because of the G1/4" connections -.-

At least I was able to continue to use often used tops ..
this not only saves my nerves ^^ furthermore it gives a consistent picture

what does EVGA think at the EVGA P55 NB fixings?
I do not know -.-
Never seen so many screws in a cooler, ..

******************************************
here are a few impressions with 13mm Dangerden fittings

like this picture

same in horizontal
http://www.anfi-tec.de/forenbilder/P55/8.JPG

et voilà

The Voltage Regulator waterblocks probably also fit on the standard EVGA P55 FTW
who else does have a P55 EVGA ftw can try one's luck ^^ with this http://www.anfi-tec.de/EVGAP55skizze.pdf

I'll probably need a photo tent, .. terrible dark pictures -.-
I'm sorry: D

btw... some more evga wbs,..but these are for an old 780i ftw

wildzcardz · Feb 19, 2010

I would be interested in a waterblock for the EVGA x58 SLI Micro motherboard!

atomic ferret · Feb 19, 2010

Truly amazing, amazing work!

Your blocks are the nicest I have ever seen. Period.

When I upgrade this spring, expect a few pms about some blocks

i think this PDFs will help:
http://www.anfi-tec.de/PWMskizze.pdf and http://www.anfi-tec.de/UCDskizze.pdf
PWM028, PWM029 and UCDsb will fit for sure
the sb fullcover is not needed and doesn't fit on the FTW (without 200)

please listen.... this is a thread for tinkering ...
NOT for product consultancy
stay in discussing my works.. other things please through PM
remind the forumrules

Andreoid · Apr 1, 2010

it is time again for something new from us

guess what there is new about this image

^^

exactly the color!

after a few tests we can color our copper bottoms fairly uniformly dark

it is not really like the deep black of delrin/acetal or the oring
depending on the light rather a dark gray ...

but it harmonizes well with the POM

I had unfortunately just make my desk lamp for pictures

I will do on the weekend times pictures of it on a motherboard
if you want to see it??!
otherwise, it want to be said that this is a new block for Gigabyte P55 boards

the new PWM031 water block

in our shop one can already choose a white cover for the block you wanna order...
but less than 4% of our customers use want the white tops at their request ...
do you think it the better choice of colored bottoms than a white cover?
what do you think of the coloring?

Andreoid · Apr 9, 2010

no reply?

btw,..the black bottom surface is treated chemically with no paint that limit the thermal transfer

After the chipset coolers, we have now also in the PWM blocks a considerable amount of models.
Atm we do have 31 different models.

i have gathered some pwm blocks together:
f.l.t.r. PWM 031, 030, 024, 023, 021, 015, 014, 013

Well these are now a couple of bottoms and all with the same cover...
if I now overlapping all bottoms I have all the necessary hole spacing:

But this sux if i have to mill a new cooler for each new board at a 1 mm difference ...dont you think so too?

so lets see my Troubleshooting in the 3D CAD:

with 3 different mounting lashes as in the UCDs
and 4 mountingholes...

The bottom is 13mm wide and the closest chanel in the block
is flow optimised to reduce the flow resistance

Here is a sectional view:

The top is made of pom/acetal and does have G1/4" windings.
the overhang is 9mm high, and and makes space for RIO or capacitor components

Here a 3D PDF,.to turn, to peek, hide components... ... etc
but i doesnt cool^^

http://www.anfi-tec.de/forenbilder/UCD4PWM.pdf

now the question...should we keep the old pwm models?
The UCDs have replaced the old models NBSB almost completely ... and this quite successfully.
After the success of UCDs, other German manufacturers had attempted to develop universal solutions, too.
It would not surprise me if, after the launch of this universal PMW block, some German manufacturers will try to develop something like this, too.

Andreoid · Apr 14, 2010

so you all don't only want to see our waterblocks, .. also the little machine that produce the copper-beautys

...
I had promised you to post the build-report from our CNC with we are spending with very very very much time

We start with the basic structure:

A cast mineral with the edge length of 700mm
(So not as great as it seems

)

The linear rail which we had previously sent to the mineral-cast-manufacturer all were assembled very clean.

the ball screws, we have from a CNC forum.
20mm diameter .. 10 slope
the linear rails we have bought in ebay.
we have got the cast as a cadfile from the manufacturer
I had imported it into my 3Dprogram (Alibre)
my first try in the cad stuff looks like this:

in der cad war ich nun noch nicht weit genug das ich mit großen teilen der cnc anfangen konnte,
also machte ich kleine notwendige sachen wie die Feingewindemuttern und Lagerblöcke.

with the help of cad file I wanted to create a safe construction to check the dimensions of the linear rails.
without the cad workings probably nothing would had worked.
I wasn't close enough in the cad that I could begin with large parts of the cnc
So I made some little things,... things that are necessary as fine-thread-nuts and bearing blocks.

brass Hexagon and a "Trennjäger" saw

next steps i did on thos lathe:

tools:

Core hole drilling

Tapping

Bevels

cutting off

almost finished parts

Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures ... which were made with the mobile

soooo we come to the bearing blocks

I have worked with the Mikron here

pre-milling

Retaining bars for attaching

then drilled the fixing screws for the fixable and movable bearing

continueing soon...

Andreoid · Apr 26, 2010

on it goes with CNC tinkering

the table was made of two old shelves and a steel L-profile welded together.

all visible seams ground over and painted beautifully

looking much better

The cast mineral was moved out on its palette
and prepared for the separation of portal and bottom:

and then, were the parts apart ..

The stand has been prepared for the machine:

Here with the later boxes and coolant filters:

on the cross bar ...

...was laid a balance sheet (for the thickness of the L-profiles) and some anti-slip mats.
Please ignore the chaos in our workshop

I need this to keep everything in place in my head XD.

the welded tray was laid in...

here you can see the outlet:

everything in position:

It continues with the Z-axis ...
the first 25mm Bosch Rexroth rail was installed and ...

... adjusted.

second rail:

This must be precisely!

the finished cut to length Z-spindle:

looks great with the 4 wagon ... damn solid

And here I will get problems with the installation later! -.-
first the wagons then the spindle? Or first the spindle? Or install all at once?
Okay ... the next CNC I will construct definitely a different way!

Andreoid · May 14, 2010

previously separate is brought together now

the machine pedestal

must be back in the tub:

So asked anyone with crane again

... Loops in the eye bolts

and so into the tub

here I screw the eye-screws back out

then next the portal (under the covers)

this is Finn

not this easy

first raise

reposition the loop

up now!

connected

looks good

Tapping again

then mount the Y-spindle and align

some punches for the table. so that it slips in position

and fixing

there will act large forces

with assembled Z-motor

coming forward very well... but the cnc can not mill so far

Andreoid · May 18, 2010

actually this should be a watercooling thread

so I have to show you some waterblocks a few times between ^^

top left of the MSI 790FX fullcover ... and the follower down in the middle

because a bad sitting capacitor on the board the new MSI 890FX fullcover block have now a smaller top. is has a winding distance of 18mm

Despite 890s engraving backward compatible to 790FX

----------------------------------------------------------------

and if we are talking about the 890 boards...
PWM032 the new 890FX for ASUS boards!

----------------------------------------------------------------

here a few photos of the user "fhantastic" from the "forumdeluxx"
He has let nickeled his evga cooler set (not by us...we can't do this)

CrowJA · May 18, 2010

Man, I absolutely love your stuff, but your locale kills it for me. I totally could do with some EVGA 680i blocks.

p3sty · May 19, 2010

Man I need some EVGA X58 micro luv.

Andreoid · May 20, 2010

i do ship worldwide

680i is a bit old, isn't it? if you are interessted i can post our actuall blocks for this board. ^^
i didn't had the chance to do measurings at EVGA X58 micro yet

CrowJA · May 20, 2010

Yeah, old, but I know you've got some from your thread over at RRTech.

Heck, if the price is right, I'd take a SB + Mosfet set from you.

Rossi~ · May 21, 2010

Pure awesome

good stuff, keep it up guys

magoo · May 21, 2010

awesome work there boys.

I'm in for a 680i northbridge if it can be made( yeah it's an old board, but it works like the devil), and I'd love a CPU block for my Classified NF200 board......the 759 version.

we have never made blocks for 759

something new again ;D

I start with a couple of photos that are prettier than mine

a high quality project, which I supported a little bit:

Marc's "Projekt Black meets Blue" - Marc1993
http://www.hardwareluxx.de/communit...e-soundkartenabdeckung-ist-fertig-684330.html

on the Gigabyte GA-P55A were installed a PWM031 two times and a UCD grande.
the bottoms were stained dark chemical

Unfortunately I can not make such amazing photos
for now I'll show some new models ^^
a new fullcover light waterblock for the MSI 890GXM-G65

the cool links, like the 790 or 890FX cooler, the NB with the voltage transformers
I have decided against engraving, because the arm is very thin

the Sapphire IPC AM3DD785G NB & SB block i have made new too

(our Soleil01 cpu block as AMD Version)

close to the air cooler

when a slot milling soleil01 bottom,..some things can go wrong ...
here is the saw blade bursted
you can still see the remains of copper sheet in the bottom
as a time to say, there is no action at a water cooling

this weekend will get an Asus Crosshair IV Formula (AMD 890FX)

There will probably come a full light as the 790FX
and maybe a total fullcoverblock

.

We cant even get that Sapphire board in the US, right now.

Now i want the board and your water cooling stuff.

it looks like pure sex... sigh

Andreoid · Jun 16, 2010

so, after three weeks of waiting for the board by a user ...
the board simply does not come, and the user do not report to my mails
so I bought my own board. -.-

first putting the uninteresting cooler down

for the voltage converter and north bridge, there is again a anfi-tec light cover
this is the cooler in the cad file, graphically

simulated:

and in real life

top only layed on

distance of 22.5 mm g1/4" thread .. it also fits thick 16/10

the copper bridge already provided in the ocerclocked MSI790FX good temperatures ... then it will work at the asus too

Details:

with the UCD (universal cooling device) SB in addition you get the board as completely cooled
should I draw a complete full cover block? (~ 12 hours of cad working)
I would at least have to mill about 10 blocks, so that the effort worthwhile for long cadding, ..

Now, you are asked:

1) a favorable light Cover + SB UCD is enough.
2) An elaborate Full Cover must be already.
