Good job, Jaydee!

Jaydee, you probably remember, but others may not remember some attempts made to directly cool the silicon die with water. Removing the IHS is not a good idea, because the silicon die is water permeable. So, a normal waterblock is about as good as it gets unless you remove the IHS and cool the die with the waterblock.
