@bb2k: could you explain why having a 2mm baseplate would cause the heat to not spread to the edges? I was under the impression that 2mm thick was actually a pretty thin base. How thick should it be? If what you say is true I may as well just make a block with fins, similar to that new block from france. I thought giving the water more time to absorb more heat would improve cooling. I also thought that because my block is more channel than copper that this would cause more spreading of the heat.
Finally, about the peltier issue, I have no intentions of using a pelt with this block. Wouldn't putting a pelt under this block make the area with fins not too useful? The finned area currently sits directly over the cores of all the athlonxp cpu's.
Serious reconsideration going on now.
