By the way I have made a few waterblocks and none of mine have internal fins.

Just a chunk of aluminum with a hole drilled through it.

All have kept the P3 internal diode within a few degrees of room temp.

The one in the picture was the worst. It's hole was to narrow and flow was restricted after a while.

Water transfers heat to metal very very well, so I dont think internal fins are essential.
