Underbyte your absolutely right when it comes to loosing alot of energy with a jetblock but it is the most effective method.
Why don't I see more use of Silver in waterblocks? Since almost everyone seams to be using Cu for the base nowadays why not switch that over to silver. The increased conductivity would easily drop temps further.

Wouldn't be easy. You have to precisly drill the holes and insert the tubes and find someway to keep the tubes from shooting into the cups in the base under pressure. You still need to mill out an area for water to flow or make a spacer plate an d the holoes in the base need to match up.
Silver? Not much is gained by Silver especially for the cost and availability of it. Can't just order a 2" wide 3" long 3/16" thick peice of silver anywhere. Cathar said he would gain .5C with the White Water in Silver. Not worth it to me. it cost me about $1.50 for a 3/16" peice of copper. Would be around $20+ in Silver for maybe a .5C gain.....
