3D Rev.1 DICE GPU pot, done cheap
 

Been working on this project for the last 2 weeks or so. Yes I'd love to have a Tek-9 fat but @ $220 :blush: I can't afford it right now. So I thought I'd try seeing what I could whip up. Before this I had no clue how to solder copper only the stuff I'd done with an iron. I used a pen torch I got for $10, a few shims of copper from home depot and an old CPU waterblock I had to grind down with a rotary tool. The block is about 1/4" thick with a 1/2" stand off in the middle, the total cost was around $35 to make it :thumbsup:. Plan on using the pot with DICE within the week. I want to see what kind of temps the pot will hold with and without load. Not expecting to much out of it but we'll see lol

Sorry I didn't take pics of the process I was to lazy and my hands were tied.

Any pics of the internals?
Love it when people use homemade pots :D
look forward to some results

Ghetto pot FTW .... :thumbsup:

looks great 3DH .......... nice job , I'm in for the results

No internals sorry man, at the time I didn't think anyone would really care to see them.

Lawl Ghetto sounds way to pricey for this project :laughing:

Home Brew FTW homie :)

that looks promising...1000mhz class gpu pot :D

FTW dude :)

almost looks pornographic though :P :D

Overclockaholic at its best. :D

rofl :ohcrap: didn't even see that till now, guess i could rename it to the John Holmes Classified

Be sure to mention "No batteries needed - Some assembly required". :blush:

In all seriousness, that seems to be a good build you have.

If it'll hold temps where they need to be, you can give your competition the shaft with it.
There I go again with the bad jokes... :D

OK.... I've been wanting to build one myself as of late but with the cost of copper pipe and the way they sell it (By the stick / 20ft sticks of 2' pipe @ $270.00+), I'll have to rely on luck to do it. Hoping to find a few scrap pieces of pipe to do it with but the big thing would be to construct a base. I have access to a 25 ton press for doing some of the work and that helps.

Have an idea what I could do but won't know how well it will work until I actually build it and test it.
