That test was DONE on an AMD XP1700. Read pH's test bench logs. The Block itself is 2" wide and 3" long. Yes it most certainly covers the pads. 2 more channels and it will be a TEC block (design in the works). I designeed it around AMD CPU's as that is all I use.
People are jerks about using mills because they are very expensive and take a lot of time to learn how to use correctly. Not to mention thay can take a finger off in a second and no one wants that liability.
Tooling is very expensive and easily dammage aswell. The only person I would consider using my mill is my buddy that is a design engineer. He showed me how to use mine properly.
I have been pondering buying a larger mill and make blocks spacifically for people like you who come up with a design yet have no way to produce it and be a USA manufacture and distributor for people like Cathar with the Cascade. I am finding the market to be to low though. Just not enough people interested in WC'ing to make it worth while financing a $20,000 mill.
