A couple years back I made a water block base with a CVD diamond inlay.
I used a 1x1 500 micron CVD diamond heat pressed with 1-2 mil of tin/silver solder in to a shallow inlay on a copper base. Sadly I dropped the project shortly after I started. Baby was on the way and life generally got busier.
Time has come for me to build a new machine based on the Core 2 Duo processor. So the fate must be decided whether to continue a water cooling construction or mod a Zalman 9700/Tuniq Tower 120. I will be cooling an E6300 or E6600 series on a Gigabyte D3 or Asus Deluxe. That also is undecided.
Attached are some photos of the original water block base.
