If you could neutralize the vibration of the pump you would do alot better. First, if your mobo is standing vertically, the pump is torquing the block downward, unevenly applying pressure to the block. The vibration, unless the block is secured down with a ton of force, will cause intermittant and variable contact irregularites that will further hamper the efficiency of your block. What you need is to create a way of doing this that adds no vibration or heavy torque to the block.

I still think you can do the same thing like so:

The turbulation is done by centrifugal force, and by roughing the bottom of the block with a sandblaster you would achieve the same results as your pump block without the added torque, vibration, and heat. Just my .02

edit: in all fairness, the big boys here think this won't work. Unfortunately, I don't have the means to build the block and prove it does. You could always make the majority of it out of a plexiglass block with just a copper plate on the bottom for testing/proving purposes. The physics and mechanics of this design can not be disputed.
