not for cooling anyhow.... sharp corners induce more turbulence for a given amount of flow.... thus improving the block's cooling ability.

Well, as I see it, turbulence is good close to the heat source. Turbulence away from the heat source only causes flow restriction. Since this design plawsworth submitted is so large relative to the effective "heat source dissipation zone", the sharp corners won't really help that much with the cooling ability of the block. It comes down to where the corners are.
Just my opinion....
