I have a thought may work may not work not sure just thinking here.

keeping the base the same thickness but adding 3 layers between the top and the bottom. 2 of these layers will be hollow (center cut out) and in between these 2 layers will be the 3rd with holes cut in to it using a drill bit (2 - 3 mm in size) all over it.

Now my reasoning for this thought is 2 things, 1 it will increase the amount of water in the block (lower flow but higher volume) and second the holy layer will cause turbulance.

Would this cause more issues (higher temps worse performance) or would it increase performance?

I love the design, and the thought on the thickness of the base is good also. Since I have used this thickness in my own designes along with using 1/2" plexiglass as the block its self and the copper just for a base.

I am not a total n00b to making water blocks but I do not know all that much. Just enough to spend money and break stuff I guess.
