On second thought, unless someone can think of a way to get sufficient die coverage, get an O-ring in, and still get a good design, I'm going to have throw out the idea for making 8 blocks... seems like 4 or 6 is more of a realistic goal. I have attached a concept for a WW/Lumpychannel combo, with the IHS and die sizes imposed on it. We would be able to get 6 of this size out of the silver we have. Any opinions? Would we be better off going with the straight whitewater channels? How thick of a base should we aim for?

On a side note, does anyone know how wide a block has to be to make good contact with the pads on an AMD XP chip? Probably won't be using this on an AXP, but its possible.
