I remember watching a program once a while back about Boeing's new airliner, (757 or 767), can't remember which it was now, but was horrified to learn the wings are glued together!!!. no joke they were glued together
. Never been in a 757 or 767 myself
.
Still the point is if a commercial airliner can be put together like an airfix kit then certain epoxies will do the job after all those wings go through far greater loads and temp changes than a CPU water block.
Of course we don't know what they used and to be honest I still don't see Glue of any type as an acceptable engineering solution myself. I guess I wouldn't sleep well knowing nothing else but glue was holding my water block together. I personally don't see it as an acceptable solution for heatsink mounting either, (wish ATI wouldn't also
),
So to sum, yes it probably could work if you use the correct stuff mixed the correct way, but I'd rather not chance it just in case it wasn't the correct stuff mixed the correct way or found to go soft after 6 months of coolant contact etc. All copper blocks with brass barbs and soldered together air pressure tested to 2 bar = nights of restful sleep for me.......
