If we could figure a way to "tin" the core somehow...
maybe with silver... then that problem would go away...
I don't think that there would be any benifit to spreading the heat with a block prior to using water.
a hot spot on the core could be minimized quicker with direct die cooling...
but untill the issue with the core being eaten away by the water is addressed,
i will have to vote for using a water block.
