configuration Are there 3D CAD files of various watercooling parts?

[Kaicer]

I'm asking this because I want to configure a 3D scale model of a hardline watercooling system for my case. I'm looking for 3D files of radiators, angle adapters, waterblocks (Gpu and Cpu), tubing, pumps, and water reservoirs. I want the parts to snap to each other on Autodesk Inventor.

There are some, but i personaly find it easier to plan using generic blocks (of the right size) for planning.

I think sketchup has a free database of some.

[Kaicer]

Should I try to make some accurate models of some? I mean, if it helps others plan the placement of their parts.

Sketch up got a really big database of 3d models for watercooling gear, almost entire collection of bitspower fittings, loads of rads and waterblocks.

Thank you so much!

This is a great idea of stuff to model. I'll look into what's out there and what we are lacking... 

 

Anything you need that you don't see?

I have not seen any 360 rads or accurate AMD socket (TR2, am4, am3) water blocks. All of the measurements are off. And there are very few of or no angled fittings/ compression fittings. That is what I have seen so far.

I'm currently in need of an am3+/ am4 waterblock from ekwb and a 360 rad from ekwb.

I can't promise anything as of yet, but I'll look into it!

 

(Also I know VERY little about water cooling gear, but with a good reference, anything can be modeled.)

You would be best to create a rough model on your own software of choice, most manufacture's will provide at least a basic engineering drawing which you can model the waterblocks and such off of. 

 

The tried and true method is to get the PC components installed and to then visually and physically measure the clearances and spaces available for fittings various watercooling components.

most of fittings are about the same dimentions, sketchup is good for a quick sketch to get a general idea what you need and if it fits or not. For fabrication it is better use other software.

for ekwb rads just search for ekwb on 3dwarehouse
