i was wondering if you thought of the reynolds numbers for this water block you want to design. for the many weeks that i have been frequently coming to this site, i have never seen anybody mention anything about reynolds numbers. this is a number that is characteristic of the flow of water through a pipe or an obstruction. to get a higher reynolds number, you must have higher flow and mor turbulance. turbulance helps by almost circulating the water while its moving through the pipe. this helps because it lets the water carry more heat since it creates more water surface area.

all that i;m stating is that you may want to look into this. i know nothing on this subject and parts of the stuff i said up their may be crap. the only reason i mentioned this is to see if anybody knows what this is, and if they know a lot about it.
