WRT holes, I've heard of people drilling them out on certain Asus mobo's with no problems. If the solder goes right the way through/is on both sides, it should be fine. Make sure you use the right sized drill bit and centre the holes precisely though, so you don't cut into the PCBoard or/and traces...

i think i will go and get some lotto tickets tonight as i am feeling lucky.
I checked the mobo one last time and went for it. Drilling 4 holes in the center of the solder pads. After checking the back side i noticed that when the drill had pushed through the pcb it lifted a little of the board and a track along with it.
thanks to my soldering skills from a previous job a quick jumper fix and the mobo works.

Would you be interested in making a block simular to Hoot's(or 'cross cut' into pins) with your router if I can find a mount or another blade to mount in the Dremmel?. I can't find an outlet for flat copper bar stock near me though. How about you?...

neither do i but i do have some links. 5mm thick was it.
if we can get some copper i would give it a go.
i am going to make one of the blocks in the new design thread with the dimples cut into the base and jets over the dimples should be easy enough and i have a akasa base that i can use.

PS, what size is the inner hole on those 1/2' Y's?. I have some oversized ones (named 17mm, but closer to 13mm outer. The barb/flanges are 17mm), but the centre narrows down to 10mm as it gets near the triple join. They could be safely drilled out to 11.5mm though. 12mm at a push. Would one of these be better than the 1/2' one/s you have?, if so I'll post you one  ...

the brass one is 10mm id it could be drilled out to 11 but not 12.
if will wait to see what the poly ones are like and if they are no good then one of yours would be good thanks.

PPS, I would of used a 13mm inner Cu T rather than a plastic one, unless you drilled it out?. They make them so restrictive when the inner size 'funnels' down as it reaches the join  ...

on my main rig the tube is 3/8 and the t is 1/2 so they are ok for that but not for the test rig that has 1/2 tube i will get one.
i have the maze 3 running on my amd board on my test rig (a bit of board with the stuff on top).
i have a temp probe glued to the side of the amd core , a water temp probe and ambiant temp. I will leave this running at idle for a while and do some tests later and Then my new block.
