You don't get leaking problems when the block is epoxied to the cpu

but yea that is a valid point, I just don't trust o rings in a suitation like this, a little lateral pressure from a hose can break the seal the o ring has.

Using a silicon sealant may be more preferable option for a removable direct die setup, some of the grades of silicon are strong and flexable enough to mantain a seal (with mechical assistance) while still being "weak" enough to remove without damaging the cpu.
