just got a Prolink Geforce 4 MX440 especially for this project, so I have a way to test the GPU block.

Here's my idea:

I have some questions about block position (inclinated to allow bigger size or "aligned" limiting the size to something around 1cm bigger than than the GPU chip itself). I'll post them tonight because I'm late for something now.

@koslov: Thanks for the suggestions, I will make both 1/2 and 3/8 versions, just like I'm doing with the CPU block. I don't like the idea of microchannels very much, IMHO they tend to make the flow laminar, sometimes the boundry layer even takes the whole area and that's not very good for heat exchange, it sould also add some unnecessary flow restriction. Well, even if I wanted to make something like this, as you said it's not doable with the cast process.

Thanks
