The fins are not soldered to the base, they are carved out of a solid block in a process called skivving. It is kind of like whittling wood. This is much better for heat transfer. Also, I will probably make a CPU block and I have a ton of this stuff left over. I could probably ship it to you, but I would have to find out what shipping to the UK is. It will probably perform as well or better than any commercial GPU or northbridge block to date.
The square of silver thing may be difficult to do and will probably not yield a significant performance gain.
