well i mentioned the ID of the feed barb as 8
that gives u about 50mm² of water going through.

each side going to the outlet barbs has +/- 40mm² of openings for water to evacuate. so the outlet barbs won't be sucking at full capacity. but it does mean that the water hitting the chip area will flow +/- evenly in all directions.

rotor stated some times that for good performance it isn't always necessary to have low flow restriction. in this design i was hoping to tackle the lazy water phenomenon, and make the water go at all directions, instead of just going directly for the outlets.
someone else i heard state that it doesn't make sense to create a flow path with larger surface area than the surface area of the barb.

anyway, to come back to you being dissatisfied. is there anything you could have done better? holes u misdrilled, dremeled some wrong areas. i don't know, but i guess not. anyway, i wouldn't feel to bad about the dremeling being to difficult on your circular design.
when taking the easy/fast route;: if everything is finished and you mount the block, and you are sitting there enjoying your rebuilt pc some. u will start to thinkthinkthink whatif i spent some more sweat on working out a more difficult design, would i have gotten better performance? then before u know it, you will start working out that difficult design to c if it does perform better, and then u will have spent, double the amount of time for the same result. anyway, that how it mostly works for my twisted self.

im very curious to see how the circular part worked out. as i guess, your top isn't a mirrored version of the bottom part. so the heattransfer effect stated here, that lets the bottom pins transfer the heat to the top ones, as being almost made out of 1 pin; won't happen in your design. lot of turbulance i guess would come out of that situation.

anyway, forgot to ask, what dia drill would you use ideally (performance/ease of use)

cheerz puzzdre, and congrats again for having done what u did (+ draw me over the line to go the same route)
