Considering that the facts have been cleared up regarding the attachment, I would have to say I feel safe in withdrawing my earlier reprehensions, and standing behind my first response:

As far as straight phase changing goes, I'd recommend buying a kit over trying to fab something like this.

but maybe look up JCViggen

I just noticed your review link, and realized the review is by JCViggen...perfect.
He took a 1.6a to a stable 3 GHz, and a 2.4 to 3.3 GHz.
From the many conversations I've had with JC in the forums over past year or two, I'd have to say you can take his word as fact, he's a great guy, and he wouldn't endorse this if it wasn't any good.
Here is a quote from a different review, done by
Technoyard.com ...never heard of these guys, but I wanted to see some AMD numbers.

We overclocked the Duron 1Ghz to 1.6GHz without any problems at all. Limitations of the overclockability of the SOYO Dragon Ultra board didn't allow us to proceed any further without having stability issues. Nevertheless 1.6GHz for a 1GHz Duron is quite impressive. At idle the temperature was reading around -30C while at full operating level it went down to around -25C. We're still dealing with minus temperatures as opposed to the high temperatures we would see in a vapochil system. After looking at some performance comparisons the Vapochill system is no where close to the cooling performance given by Prometeia.

...and with the size of the evaporator, it doesn't look like the Prometeia is the AMD killer the Vapochill is either.
From this vantage point, it looks to be Win-Win-Win when you compare price(MSRP $640 USD), performance, and the fact that it is "AMD friendly".
