I would say that waterblock design is close to a wall. Blocks like the MCW6000 and the WW are more than adequate in design and will be for years to come. Perhaps this is the wall for you, JD. From what I've seen of you on the forums, your specialty is in waterblocks. There isn't much left to do here....... not on CPUs anyways.
There are still plenty of blocks left to make. Mofsets, hard drives, PSU block. We all know it can be done. The challenge is to do so in a practical fashion.

Here is how it goes: an idividual, or DIYer, looks at a component to cool, firgures out how to do it, and publishes how to on the internet. Some other DIYers replicate it, report results, and eventually a manufacturer picks up on it. They mass produce products that benefit the rest of the community.

I don't think the goal of watercooling is necessarily in obtaining higher clock speeds, not anymore. Instead I think that watercooling's goal is to achieve silence. In this respect, much research needs to be conducted in passive rads.
