Can confirm you will get improved results if you work with design.
As for something "new", no, we understand someone before any of us had a product on the market a few years back, no idea if they patent or what fee will be, sorry.
You should also be aware, direct on processor die cooling channels are being tested right now.... not even "inside" info any more, and very well patented.
Hope this info helps before your $$ go into developement.
For home guys, this should be your next area of research, it can work very well as Draco shows. Long term is still under research.
Required pump pressures can be low. What will be required for built in channels is still up in the air, seen research for both high and low pressure, with about equal results.

Yeah the block design was just a prototype, I have 4 more to work with, I just wanted to see if it would be possible to get it up and running with no leaks, that the seals I am using will work etc. and maybe get an idea of just what this stuff can do if applied correctly
I had it in my setup using the mase 4 copper block and the results weren't that great, they are 100 times better with the direct die setup..
as for low pump pressures, I can atest to that, as I slow my pump down, to reduce the bubbles, as this fluid actually is thinner than water, and produces it's own bubbles for some odd reason... even the techs/engineers at 3m can't figure it out, except maybe some sort of phase change is happening in the pump and creating the bubbles, or some otehr things going on that I/we don't quite understand yet...
but I know when I slow it down the bubbles go away..
as for $$ into development, I don't think it will happen unless I get someone to invest (which is doubtful)
It was a cool project to see if it could be done, to do something NEW and Exciting inthe Private sector!!
