What's the material you used for this water block?
Is the hole 1/4' standard?
What kind of water channel inside?
I believe a normal water cooling system is enough.

Aluminium
Yes, straight 1/4 inch (for flat sealing)
Round
How would that differ?
I mean no need to use a refrigerator. Use normal water cooling system with radiator, reservoir, and pump is enough.

This is very nice, you might try some overclocking without fans disturbing the whole neighbourhood.

I want one if it comes with the Avalon unit.

The chiller I posted can make 2 centigrade Celsius water - would be curious if my Avalon hashes faster then...

You`re kidding, right??
1. Alu ??
2. It`s 2,5Kg?
3. Haw can i fit it into avalon case, sorry - 3 or 4 of them to cool it ?


Think about Cu/Plexi sandwitch. It`s much more lighter. Sommethink like fullcover for GPU.
This brick is ussles IMHO.

1. Yes, a very good heat conductor
2. Yes. Original one is 1.6kg
3. It's smaller than the original.

Cu/Plexi? Please make us a sample...

Advantages of my solution: less leakages, much appreciated by experienced water coolers.

Hello All,

 I've made some water cooling elements for my hopefully soon arriving batch 2 Avalon. As it isn't here yet I have no chance of testing...
However I post the manufacturing drawing, if anybody feels like making his own - please go ahead and take my design if you wish to.
Also I want to gauge interest if somebody would like to buy some - the offers I have from my vendors are about 150US$/pc.
The amount of M3 threads on this is roughly double than the original Avalon heat sink (the PCB's have the holes, god knows why they didn't execute it on the heat sink).

I am in China, if there is some other Avalon user here who wants to have a try on water cooling please contact me. I would be interested about noise level and over clocking potential.
As a chiller I was thinking about http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.w31-17520194789.4.legfcf&id=10299146223. Additionally you need some hose, fittings and a pump (a central heating pump should do fine).

I would prefer to put the whole setup on my balcony (still need a solution for the PSU), but if only the chiller is outside and two small hoses come in it's also fine. The PSU shouldn't be as loud as the rest is supposed to be.
