I was wondering SysCrusher if you have thought of an asymetric block to keep water flowing in one direction instead of splitting to flow and causing a chance of unbalanced flow.

My current block that I am working on is a micro channel idea, mainly because it is easier to model on the computer. Right now I have the block with 9 , 3mm deep, 1mm wide channels over the die. with this I could handle a 520 W Processor with a 1C water temperature rise. and this is only a side to side flow block!!!
I can't see the pic. If you want, email it to me and I can host it for you.

I considered an asymetric design but from my experience and results the nozzle should be the shape of the design your using. So i'm stuck with round nozzle shapes. I have a slight problem with unbalanced flow with my new block as I could tell because more water seemed to flow from one side more. Actually shooting out one side more. I could hear the impingement hissing. It could be because I had trouble tapping the outlet holes - they got a little crooked. .25 inch isn't easy to get a tap straight in it.

I have no way of milling micro-channels nicely. If I could, I would be doing that and trying to incorporate my impingement ideas into that.

Your block idea sounds like it's coming along nicely. Sounds like a performer.
