General Rule: KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) the best blocks are simple in design, though i like your graffix work

First looks complicated for complicated sakes. I see no cooling benifit. Can you explain how/why it works? Without the reasoning behind the design, the design remains... different or just unique.

That second one may work almost as good as a maze 1. imho. I see no advantage to making a block in that design.

Sorry, but you asked my opinion.

Xtar, why not make a LRWW Clone... like with horizontal fins, will be better and easier then any design you can make.

the problem I'd see with the last one being most of your water flow would folow the shortest path and the rest of the chanels would be near stagnant (no water flowing through them). the water has to be able to flow equal through the channels

I like that last one

Check out my Radius block (in sig), you'll find an alternative for balancing the flow equally.

that wont really work well....flow restriction in the wrong places. I honestly think the LRRWW has achieved best design of a water input directly over die design without using Cascade tech....
