I didn't see aluminum mentioned.

I believe the idea is to plate silver onto the silicon of the die, and then solder the die to the block.

I have some reservations about the idea, but it's interesting.

It would be a good idea to look into the differences in the temperature coefficient of expansion of copper, silicon, and indium/tin solder. It may be that the die would be cracked by the contraction of the waterblock as the soldered die/block cools down from soldering temperature.
