thx alot for all the input. but sometimes it is hard to understand what y'all are saying. getting there though.

time for me to point something out.

i'm interested in making this block for myself as a sort of test. BUT the main objective here is to make some sort of block, like cathar's, aimed at die area cooling only, no pelt compromise.

so,
u guys point me in the direction. i draw it out and out it for the 'masses'.

is everyone ok if the center design was changed from the first original drawing, at what nicozeg suggested with the single middle post/pyramid. the water outlets can be changed as pleased for lowest flow restriction, this isn't a mass production block so dremel wheel cost isn't too much of a problem. the most important part will be the center. do we want 8 channels exiting the die area, or 4. what should the width of those channels be?

@bigben2k
"No no no!

You don't want to open up the middle, you want to open up the outside area!

If anything, I'd try to make the hole-to-hole openings a little off-center, so that there's some kind of jet closer to the wall."
excuse me, feel a bit dumb but i do'nt understand what you are trying to say there.

@everyone: what seems best, blue rectang or red rectang?
