Well look, I've pointed out the problem with your idea (which is a good one btw) and that is that there will be too much distance between the 6 pelts and the CPU die. Even if you made this trapezoid out of solid silver, this huge trapezoid is going to have a very cold part, and a very hot part.

To put it more simply, the cooling effect of the pelts won't reach the CPU.

If you could minimize the distance (or thickness) by putting these pelts in a radial pattern, i.e. a half-sphere type thing, with a pelt on top, and 5 pelts around the sides, then you'd have a better chance. The problem of course, is that it won't fit on the mobo.

Now if you go back up, you'll see a reference to using this block as a chiller, but that particular design (big block) won't work.

It is possible to use 6 pelts, but it would be far more efficient to use them as chillers.

So do you want to pursue the idea of using 6 pelts on the CPU, or will you consider designing a chiller? Either way...
