I assume you were planning on using three blocks+2 pelts?
Why not do this........
take both maze lls and remove the tops, get a 1/8 sheet of copper and cut a rectangle the size of the maze, drill a hole in the center to line up with the center 'port'. Solder the blocks together with the thin p;ate in place. Drill one block on the side to accept a brass fitting and do the same with the other...tap them and screw in the fittings. then get two other blocks and make a sandwich with the modded mazlls in the center.
A lot of work but the double thickness and the amount of time the water will be being 'chilled' should really help cool things down.

Yeah, but then I'd have two get two more 172 Watt Tec's to take advantage of all that additional surface area.
Because I have two different Maze2s, the "center" holes don't line up. The outer holes do, although there's not much benefit to that.
I wasn't really wanting two add two more waterblocks to the system.
The cold side of the system is going to have a White Water and an Eheim 1250 on it, and later, maybe a Little River GPU block. The hotside is going to have a Danner Mag5 and heatercore big enough for two (or four) 120mm fans. (Mitsubishi Gallant, 99 I believe)
Any thoughts on which side (hot or cold) to use the more restrictive Maze2 with? I'd be inclined to pair it up with the more powerful Danner pump, but the hotside block is going to be moving a lot more heat than the cold side block, so a low C/W on that side is important too.
