One of the most enjoyable things to do in your spare time is to make gadgets and mods to your computer. This DIY project shows how you can add an efficient water cooling system to your computer using affordable stuff and with lots of fun.

Step 1: Tools

You will need the following:
1.A drill.
2.A normal CPU heat sink.
3.A copper tube. (like the one used in refrigerators)
4.A plastic tube.
5.An aquarium pump.
6.A glass or plastic Jar.
7.Distilled water.
8.Epoxy - Plasticsteel

Step 2: Preparing the Water Block

The water block is designed to cool the CPU. The block which water runs through is made out of a normal heatsink which is normally attached to a fan that comes with the CPU.

The process of preparing the water block begins with deattaching the fan from the heatsink and then making two holes in the middle of it. The holes end must reach each other to allow water to pass through and that was achieved by drilling holes in diagonal drilling procedures

Step 3: Preparing the Water Tank.

Use a normal glass or plastic jar and fill it with distilled water to be your coolant tank. Insert the aquarium water pump in that jar after attaching a plastic tube to it to allow water to run and reach the water block. Make three holes in the jars cover one for the outgoing water tube and another for the incoming water tube and the third for the pumps electricity wire.

Step 4: Preparing the Radiator

An efficient radiator can be made using a copper tube allowing the water to be cooled by going in circles. You can add a normal fan to get air through the circles of the tube which will provide a better air flow and cooling.

Step 5: Bring Everything Together

After finalizing your radiator, attaching everything together is easy. By attaching the heat sink (water block) to its original place and positioning the glass jar (coolant tank ) in the PC case in my case I choose to put it under the HDD.- and you should also weir the pump with your power supply, you can use a relay to start the pump when the PC initialize.

Step 6: Final Project

As you can see you can make your own water cooling system from almost nothing and using none of the original tools used in preparing a water cooling system.
The block is an original heatsink from an original Intel fan.
The tubes used are the ones you can find in a hospital or pharmacy.
The water pump is an aquarium water pump.
This project is easy yet efficient as the temperature after installing the system reached only 24c.
