I would also add that it's easier to keep the overall block to a reasonable size while still hitting the 4 rubber 'bumper blocks' on an AMD chip when using bar stock. Get a round bar big enough to go over the bumpers, and I suspect you'd be overhanging the socket quite abit in the center of the sides. I don't know if that would cause problems with the "keep out" areas, but why waste the copper?
