Where to get a custom radiator?

[SeñorDonut]

I am planning a custom build and if I could get a custom radiation it would make things a lot easier. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Also, is this the right place for a post such as this?

Thanks!

^This. I too would like to know for future reference if anyone has that kind of manufacturing capability. But what size are you looking for OP?

I wanted a copper slim 92mm radiator for a SFF build, but there's none available so I googled the same question.

I only found a couple of none-answers saying that it'll be v v expensive if such a service was offered.

So anyway please let us know when/if you've managed to find one.

No promises but I'll try to diy this. I have a plan.

I watched a youtube on how they're made (because I thought about diying one too), and it seemed v v difficult!

 

[Biowarejak]

It's a lot easier when you can 3D print parts of it ^.^ especially tools used to form the metal

I am looking for a 3x60mm rad with a rather abnormal connection placement. IIRC, @QinX got a custom 2x40mm rad made where he works, or was that just the CPU and GPU blocks?

That's helpful! After work I'm going to get the materials I need but I have a dual 80mm that I've got designed already.

How thick is that rad?

It's 54mm thick, but I'm fine with it being more or less.

Wait, are you actually going to build this?

 

[Biowarejak]

I'm building mine first to test if it's feasible, I'm not sure how it will turn out. If it's acceptable then I'm sure I'd be willing to give yours a shot

 

[SeñorDonut]

Okay, cool! How much do you think it'll end up costing?

 

[Biowarejak]

Probably on par with some of the commercial options out there. It would probably have less cooling capacity but it would be custom built so I'm not sure the proper value to assign to it.

@QinX had a custom radiator built, iirc, but he also had some industry contacts. Might be able to shed some light on the subject!

Almost exactly what I was looking for, thanks! Only problem is the hole thing location, I wonder if they'll make a custom one...

 

[Biowarejak]

They might! Be good to ask

 

[SeñorDonut]

Yeah, I just contacted them.

So I did a thing, y'all.

Nice! How are you sealing in the copper tubes? Are you going to pressure and leak test??
