I dont think you're looking a the block like I am. I think the design is more like a maze without all the 90 degree bends to connect the segments. Looks like a 7 pass maze. And there is nothing wrong with solder as a TIM joint, its better than AS5 and stuff in this application because the coils cant be pressed into the base. This is especially good if he used solder with super high silver content..

Hes probably like me, if it cools the CPU to a stable point, then it is working just fine; reguardless of design. I'm sure with my system I could put this block in and witness no change in system stability. Temps mean nothing if lower temps doesnt really do anything. I could care less about the C/W my waterblock is getting in my loop as long as the computer runs at the highest overclock its capable of as quietly as possible. But this, really, is beside the point.
