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.

well, the pic below is ilike to think of the heat spreading, as the plate is thicker more chancec it has for the bubble like area to expand and widen out, thats why Cathar had all the cooling direct and a very small area as his plate4 is like 1.someting thick
