The reason I stick with the standard 2"x3" (thickness is variable, but the base doesn't need to be over 1/8") is because of the mobo mounting holes and distance apart the barbs need. But I design the block to try and cool the area of the core. Which is a very small area. If I could fit 3 barbs in a 2x2 area and still have enough room for thick walled hosing I would only use that much and just make the top or base span out to meet the mounting holes.
Actually you can. A square copper T fitting that has female 3/8 npt threads. I have a brass one but copper probably would be better. I was thinking about giving it a shot just for laughs.
