I said that because of the detrimental effects of cooling the core directly.
If you had a powerful enough jet on it nothing could beat a direct die logically; at one point the benefits of copper would be outweighed by the thermal delta between the point of contact with the core and the dissipation area.
Am I wrong?
EDIT: I guess I'm ignoring the question, this method is not the most effecient, but probably can achieve the lowest possible temperature.

Problem here is the IHS is designed to have a center force on it and distribute the weight evenly across the IHS so it will make contact with the CPU die below it. The IHS is not directly attached to the die and needs pressure from the HS to be effective. What I thought about doing was making a base simialr to the Cascades but drill the holes all the way through and use the IHS as the base. The water would hit the IHS and also get a secondary cooling fro mthe sides of the holes in the copper. But that still isn't direct die cooling.
Direct Die cooling shouldn't even be worth discussing anyway untill AMD or Intel design a CPU that is direct die cooling compatible. Not to mention there is no proof (that I have seen) that direct die cooling is any better than a decent water block. I had a pretty good Direct die cooler with jets and it was no better than a Maze 4. Just not enough room to work with especially on the outlet part of it.
