errr Impingment is used solely to increase water velocity and hence turbulence...
with higher turbulence, read lower thermal resistance, you dont need (or cant have) bigger surface area. You either work with block wich have lots of area and lower velocity or smaller area with high velocity (smaller surface area where water velocity is high).
Why you cant use both you might ask (lots of surface and high velocity)? Because the result will be a hell of a restrictive block.
