I was just wondering. I always see blocks that sit on top of the processor die, and nothing else. Why not mill out the block a little and make it fit, like a glove, over the Die? If you could mill it out and get it to fit tight, I think you could get better cooling, because no heat would dissapate to the air between the block and the area around the Die.

If I don't make sense, just ask and I'll draw a pretty 3d image to show you what I'm asking about.
