IMO, the design involves the tooling required to cut a WW block. This means that to be able to do this block, one has to be able to do a white water. 7 channels (13mm), are too little. I would Increase it to about 18mm.
Also, starting with aluminium is a good decision as you will waste a lot of metal perfecting the machining methods. Just a constructive suggestion.

i know that there are only 7 channels, i thought of that too, but remember that the amd core (the new tbred b) is not squarish any more and the vertical side is shorter than the hoizonatal side
so i catered for that too.
the height of a tbred b is about 7.5 mm. 13 mm of fins are more than enough imo (in copper)
remember also that there are the holes within the fins so theoretically there are not 13mm of fins and holes but 14mm

In Alu, your baseplate is going to be a little thicker, so where WW overlaps the core by 2mm all around, in Alu, you'll want an even bigger gap.
AMD core is 7.47mm by about 11 (Tbred B).

i did not think that in alu i need a bigger gap, you are right about this one, forgot, but my design is there to be milled in copper at the very end
so it is for nothing testing with more channels when i know that in copper i am only going to cut 7. what i might do is to increase a little bit the baseplate when milling an al.
or maybe, if i find it easy to mill in al, i could add one channel on each side
