At the moment I am waiting for the material. And then I'll go to the search of o-rings.
The middle on is nearly on par with the first one due to its higher turbulences, thinner baseplate and higher velocity but it also has more pressuredrop. It is milled in a third the time of the first one. The Cooler to the right was never tested, i milled a new one with 8 channels instead of six. It should perform much better than the other two, testing is in progress, on a real platform (A64 3700+ @2,7Ghz) it is only 2° better than the middle one with similar pressure drop. It is on par with a nexXxosHP at least, maybe even better than that.
