How do I build a waterblock around that piece of copper?
Oh, the piece of copper has a 1/16" hole in it too.

I am confused. Are you making the point I am ignorant because I have all AMD CPU's (which is true except the laptop) or are you saying the AMD IHS on the Opterons is to those specs, or are you saying the P4 IHS is to those specs?
Anyway what if of you go .75mm in to the IHS? Most of the cooling is the first jet impingment not the secondary isn't it? 30mm x 30mm is pretty big thats like 1.1811024 inch x 1.1811024 inch. You can easily get a Oring around the outside of the IHS on the bottom of the base of the block unless your talking about 30mm squared..
Or what if you just drilled through the base of the block and left the IHS alone. The impingment would be directly on the IHS. probably more realistic....
