How thick is the bottom of the base?
The channel is directly above the core, and would be the main part of that block disipating the heat as it is the main flow restriction. if you were to alter it, you might get good results. you could try a sideways type jet-impingment, take the top barb off, so you can drill though the hole and into the side of the channel.. im know nearly nothing about jet impingment so you should maybe ask one of the experts on the subject. you could use rotor style holes around the rest of the base aswell to improve it.
another suggestion would be to make a new lid for it after removing the channel. If it had an indent to squash the flow into a smaller area, it would then move faster and spread out more. I only htink the bit diectly over the core should be removed/altered if any.. and any indent in the lid should only be over the core and on the left side, after the core, the flow shouldnt be reduced as it wont help it cool any better
What card is that btw? as it looks very differnt to my 9700, and i see it uses further apart mounting holes, so a ti4x00 of some kind?
