This my new design I'm working on, it takes totaly different way than most other blocks, the idea came from discussion on oc.forum : http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showth...hreadid=101864 this is a must read interesting in block design, and my idea incorporate as much as possible from heat transfer theory.
So here it is:
And the hardest part already made 
I hope I can have this block made in 1week, so I can test it, the theory behind this design is only small effective area for heat transfer is used, water flow is accelerated through the chanells with cross section a little smaller then inlet and then grows back when going out to reduce preasure drops, water only moves through the chanells, where the cross section is constant, so velocity also stayed constant. And last but not least overall surface area is also a lot bigger then with one chanell of the same cross area.
So block should be great in theory, and I'll know very soon how it's in real life.

I'm sorry to be the one to point this out to you, but I don't think that'll work very well. Here's why:
This pyramid is the equivalent of the baseplate of a block. It needs to be between 3MM and 10mm, depending on the flow rate that you're going to apply to it, 300 to 50 gph, respectively (I'll post a link later).
In this case, you're way outside of that range, so the pyramid will be allowed to get very hot, before the heat reaches the coolant. More specifically, the cooling effect of the coolant is too far from the heat source: the core.
I predict dismal results, but hey, that's just my $.02 ...
