Phase Building Supplies Incoming Thread
 

So finally getting my new Load Tester together, The copper block has been cut and drilled and will be shipped out to me tomorrow. I have everything else but the Variac which will be np to get.

This is the guide I am following.

And some pictures of the block coming my way. The extra stuff in the picture like heaters and thermal cut off switch I have so I will add all that when the block comes.

The heaters I will be using are 2x 200watt heaters so I will be able to test all the way to a 400watt load.

I will do more pictures when the block gets here.

I changed the thread title so I dont make more threads on the same subject

Can you make the block glow in the dark?

It will get hot enough to LOL

Very cool Bill and will be very good stuff, the same stuff they put in snapple. We're talking a whole new verse to delve into when reviewing pots, single stagers, even air h/s capabilities.

Maybe rig it up so that you can mount s775, 1366, 1156 mounts to it for true blue testing enviroment mounts.

Well that will be able to strap onto any hold down kit, just 2 screws is all you need and a hold down plate.

So any Phase/Cascade wil be able to use this.

But with new CPU's and higher heat loads I decided to make it a 400watt tester so tunning for higher loads will be easyer.

I can tell you right now that at 4.0ghz a 965 C3 is pushing 300watts (for the whole computer), 4.2ghz and your over 300watts. So picture a 5.3ghz chip on Cascade and what heat load that is.

Final unit on its way to me :)

Minus the heaters as I have those here.

Ok so I picked up a Vacuum Pump today and should have that in a few days.

Vacuum Pump Robinair 15600 6 CFM 2 stages

You going to start building your own phase units?

Well thats kind of the idea ;)

LOL whoops. I though this was about building a load tester and for reviews. Teach me to read the thread title next time :p

Very nice that is the one I use ..... :thumbsup:

Yeah I had the thread title changed.

The load tester will be used for other reviews also, but will end up being used for builds.

Yeah I heard that this one was the one to get :)

wow with things going for me the way they are I may say sign me up for the first unit buddy :D

Nice going there mate! Building good cascades takes a lot of time and practice. Nice to see that you are going to try that! :thumbsup:

Well I know exactly what I want to build, and all the fine details. Been studing this for a long time.

Plus I have some very special Evaps being made for these babies. No details to be released for those yet, but I will when I am ready. They could turn into items I want to sell and dont want copy cats ;)

One version, we have actually revised this design. Sorry no inside shots yet :)

Its a Refurbishment unit but seems to be in good shape, nice and heavy :)
Good thing is was free shipping LOL :)

And the rest of the load tester parts came today.
This little block of copper is pretty heavy :shock:

Now need to get some sand paper and put a little better finish on it and it will be good to go.

The Router Speed Control unit is what I will use in place of a Variac, for adjusting the voltage to the heaters.

The little gizmo thing on the end is a Stancor thermall cut off switch for in case you forget about everything while its running and the Phase crashes you won't burn down your house. Believe it or not that happens a lot to people who do not have that installed, well not the burn down your house part, but some have burned down there work bench which could lead to that.

Kool gadgets :)

Looking good Bill

Who the hell is this guy? :keeporder:

j/k :welcome: to the forum nutterz :thumbsup: it only took you 4 months to make a post, thats quick for a short bus rider :taunt:

I know... what the heck is that, 1 post !!!!

wow..... just wow... and there went the neighborhood

Neighborhood was gone when you joined. :ohcrap:

Condenser on its way :)

So are you gonna exclusively build single stages or are you gonna pony up and do a cascade?

SS Phase first as I need a good benching unit, plus I need to learn the ropes first so I plan on learning with this unit.

Cascade will come in good time tho :)

That compresser is 220volt so that will have to taking off, but it has the base plate and condenser and all. Its the very same thing thats on the 2 Stager for the first stage.

Well when you get good at this stuff I may need to hit you up ;)

Well there may be a few of those little SS birdies hatched I have a feeling.

Working on getting more of those Condensing units... what would be enough.. 10 ? no that would about cover what I want for myself :ohcrap:

And... Boom Head Shot !

Things take form!

Compresser goes as its a 220volt, it wil be repaced with a bigger unit ;)

Going for a 1hp or larger?

Watchin yah Bill ;)

HAHA :)

Yeah tbh at this point I am not sure, I can go as big as the one thats in the 2 stager (which is a monster) and thats the way I am thinking at this time, or I can use one like Jin did on my SS Phase. The condenser on the Jinu is about 1/4 the size of this one so I wil have to ask around and see what would be best to use.

Man you must have OCD. Everything looks so neat :D

hehe :)

More goodies. Man I am getting so close :taunt:

Can't wait to see some braze work!

btw, chuchnit needs a unit ;)

Yes I know, I need to get some brazing tools next.

Its looking like next month before I can get anymore supplies. Getting everything together is not cheap and I am on a limited budget, plus I still have to get my gas certs so I can get gasses.

For this first build I will most likely end up getting a lineset from Ron so I di not have to worry about brazing an evap and suction line. This way I will only have to do a few brazes and concentrate on how tuning works.

Prolly best to do it that way Bill. Slow, steady and make sure you learn the in and outs. Making everything from scratch can come later.

Hey my friend from XS I didn't know you were a builder too?!

Nice thread subd for a great weekend reading!
