I ran this tonight. Results were pretty much as expected.

Sempron 2500+ @ 1862mhz approx 82watts stock Vcore 1.45V

Direct IHS Cooler:

@3.6GPM water to cpu differential was 12C. (Water 25C, CPU 37C). I decided to stop there simply because there is no point in going further.

Stock AMD Sempron Air Cooler 50C CPU temp (32C air to CPU differential)

AquaXtreme MP-05 SP 432pin base:

@1.5GPM water to CPU temp differential 10C

@1GPM 11C

@.5GPM 12C

Danger Den Maze 4

@2GPM 14C

@1.5GPM 15C

@1GPM 15C

@.5GPM 16C

So obviously if the direct IHS cooler is performing worst at over twice the flow rate than the MP-05 SP then it shows this is not a viable option. I don't think modifying the IHS will make it enough better to even beat out the Maze 4.

So in my mind project successful and enough info to know this is not the path to follow. A water block will perform better and less chance of failure.
