On that note, assuming that 5mm would be good in a direct inpingement (aka center inlet) design, I'm thinking about reducing the baseplate thickness, maybe as far down as 1mm, around the core itself: it would produce a copper island, slightly larger than the core itself (the new AMD core of course), and would allow the coolant's effect to be concentrated in the hottest area of the copper. Here's a rough pic.

my athlon block is similar to that (posted here a while back, the one I "carved" out) it's the best performing block I've made to date.
