And the case is entirely tool less. Meaning everything clicks/snaps into place, not a single screw to worry about.

Just wanted to post this again so you dont have to go back to page 18. Nothing updated, but at least its here for reference purposes and comparisons.

I see someone else is preparing for the war/anarchy thats coming to our shores. Same here.

Ill certainly never run out of liquid metal again Trying this ultra compact unit. Probably the way to go so you don't have to spend a fortune on a gallon of gallium.

Yes, indeed. Very curious myself. Glad I can finally start moving on this again. Im going to test this out in my z840 for the primary reason it has two 145W tdp CPUs. So we will be pushing both coolers to the limit @ 290W (pwr limit) . I will keep one processor stock with factory liquid cooling so it will be water vs gallium head to head. That way we can compare performance real time. Just ordered all the ingredients I will need to make Galinstan. Good down to 32*F. So I can use the chiller, or at least test with the chiller and see what we get.

MagiCool Premium Series Copper 80mm Radiator - Black (LC-RADI80) - FrozenCPU.com WWW.FROZENCPU.COM This one is only 80mm so I am assured it will fit, just at a performance penalty.

I have not dismantled the z820 cooler yet so I don't know what the water block looks like but I'm hoping it will be fine for this purpose. I know it's full copper, so that's good. I have found this all copper 92mm radiator that *should* fit under the hood. Stock cooler is 90mm. Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM

Good news! I just found out the z820/z840 coolers only hold about 50-60cc of water/coolant which means I can do this on the cheap.

What do you see as the most challenging part of this operation?

It's cost prohibitive, but I'm still going to see if i can make it work on a small scale cooler like the z820 so I don't have to break the bank. If I get the thermals i like I can order an all copper radiator to replace it.

Im not going to fix it after reading your reply here. I can start massing parts for 1-2 months from now as that is when I can start on this project. I will try to hybridize the new system with the Z5500 if they complement each other well, since that system still works fine.

Yeah I get what you are saying. It's hard to keep the same version in check for everyone. Which is why this should just be a repository for members benchmarks going forward.

Yup that's where I discovered it.

What do you mean?

Well I smoked my z625 subwoofer today. I play my music really loud and it was simply not up to the task. There was a huge rip, no saving it. Which begs the question, what do you guys recommend as a drop in replacement for this unit? I would obviously like a 6.5" sub that will last more than 6 months.

They both contribute to turbulent air, but I doubt there is much connection beyond that. Here is a crash course. Part 1: Gary Talks about the Vortec combustion chamber design. "Here is the short version of the importance of combustion chamber design. First some assumptions, air fuel ratio is right, meaning enough present oxegen to support total combustion of the fuel. Second, forget about the "crevice", the area above the top ring between piston and cylinder wall where the fuel will not burn efficiently. Third, assume flat top piston, best design, promotes most rapid flame travel. Now compare a theoretical combustion chamber with piston at tdc and no air movement. This of coarse would never happen, but bare with me. To burn the fuel would require maybe 60 degrees of timing lead, because you have only the close proximity of the fuel atoms to spread the burn from the plug accross the area of the chamber. This would mean your engine would "fight" against building combustion pressure as piston approached tdc. Very inefficient. "old fashioned" combustion chambers are more desireable than our theoretical case because they induce turbulence. The turbulence speeds the spread of the burn, but in a random and uncontrollable fashion. Requireing maybe 34-38 degrees ignition timing lead. Better, but still not great. This is all heads built prior to the early 90's. And, most aftermarket heads, which are "tweaked" copies of "old fashioned" production heads. Now consider the Vortec head with its predictable and repeatable swirll patterns. Faster burn rate than our previous examples, requireing even less timing lead, about 30-32 degrees, therefore engine has to fight the mounting pressure less than the previous examples. This means more power available to put to the ground, or up in smoke I guess. The theoretical ideal engine would have such a fast burn rate that total combustion would happen at the moment of ignition. Then you could run 0 or 1 degree timing lead. Don't hold your breath waiting for this to be reality, the laws of physics aren't cooperating with us on that one. Make sense to ya? Regarding port design, "total area under the curve" is most important. Most buy heads based on peak claimed flow at some valve lift (ie. 250 cfm at .600" lift.) But more important than that is flow at all levels and particularly low lift flow. If you chart your flow at all valve lifts from open to close it looks like a bell graph (the line will be shaped like a bell). The fatter the bell the better. A narrow pointy bell is no good. Also, you need efficient flow management, that is laminar flow without turbulence in the ports. Turbulence creates "voids" or low pressure pockets that mean your port will not pass as much air as the same port witout turbulence would. Laminar flow takes the air through the port intact, essentially fills the port with quality air without "voids". Another thing to consider is velocity and momentum. Air and fuel have mass, so they can be accelerated and will have momentum. The Vortec head uses a venturi built into the port shape to accelerate the air/fuel after it makes the turn toward the valve. This creates low pressure behind it, drawing more air/fuel. And it gives the air fuel high velocity and momentum so that it has a lot of energy when it hits the back side of the open valve, because at this point it has to be redirected and loses energy as it's redirected. So, bottom line is best high velocity laminar flow at all valve lifts with a controlled high swirll chamber, combined with a flat top piston. Currently, no aftermarket head can begin to compare with the Vortec, even the Fast Burn lags a little behind in the quality of these characteristics."

Or better yet, braided stainless steal

Yeah I might have to spend some bank on this one (galinstan is very expensive, even cost prohibitive. However, due to the compact nature of these coolers it's the most obvious way to get performance data, even if I have to sacrifice a z820 cooler in the process. You can see we are dealing with a very low volume loop here: Also no right angles.

Only thing I don't know is the quantity of coolant in the HP z820 rad. so I'm starting with 200 grams of pure gallium, but I'm not sure if that will be enough. EDIT: Also have to modify the gallium to lower the melting point, because pure gallium melts at 85*F.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. It would have to be copper or industrial rated to not corrode in the presence of gallium. It has twice the viscosity of water, but I think the motors will be able to handle it.

Barton core, 2.1GHz, 400MHz FSB?

That's what the globalists want you to believe. They are very much into population control, because they are evil and they like killing Christians. The earth could easily sustain twice the population. But what do you think is going to happen?

I found the perfect prototype for testing. This is a z820 liquid cooler and it's ultra compact design lends itself well for being a test bed for Galinstan. Also, since it's so compact it wont require very much liquid metal for the tests to proceed. I am buying a couple vials of Galinstan (which is nearly identical in composition to LM thermal paste mostly gallium, some tin and one other alloy) and should be able to keep the costs under $100. The z820 liquid cooler has two lines coming out of the back of the radiator, down to the pump, making it very easy to drain the old coolant and replace it with gallium. I suspect the HP radiator is aluminum so these will be short and quick tests to measure baselines under stress loads. If the performance data looks good, I'm going to go ahead and purchase a couple of these copper rads to replace the pre-existing rads. at that point we will have to just monitor the pump and make sure flow rate is good. ( can add another pump later if needed)

I see they are still busy hanging the noose of "climate change" around our necks
