do you think it will work good , great , sucky ?
what thingys do you think needs to be improved ?
i would also like some info from you guys if u dont mind , about the intel , A64 cpu sizes , i dont want the block to cover half the cpu u know ..
where are the holes for the new soket mobos , is it even possible to make a block that will fit all the and,intel mobos ?

It looks ok. I would make it a little smaller, because the die you have to cool is really small and there is no need to make a block an the pins/fins bigger than the cpu socket, because making it bigger would decrease the efficience (i just translatet the word free from german, is it right?) of the surface. Smaller surface only in the midle with some jet impigments have a very high efficience and can perform better than big blocks with large channels an much surface, but very bad efficience of the surface.
Second i would use some small jets like the cascade exact there where the die will be under the block (about 10-20 1,2mm holes would be perfect). The size of 1,2mm prooved best in tests with an eheim 1250 an 1/4" tubing, so this would be a good choice. To have an ideal pressure on the jet holes, it is good to have whith all holes 30% of the sqare surface of the tubing. Many people drill too much holes to increase flowrate, but thats not exactly the way to good performance of the block (it needs pressure!).
