So is this direct die cooling block using the same top you've had for your last trials?

Well my worst block performs great at sub 15C ambient temps.
This guy thinks his overclock rules, but people are getting that overclock on that same CPU with AIR cooling. Without quality testing it proves NOTHING as to how well the block cools. I can't figure out how these guys think they are so far ahead of proocooling but yet cannot understand these simple concepts. Yet they think they are full of "Facts" and the leaders in direct die when leufkins was selling direct die blocks a few years ago before he went under. I can't figure out why they somehow came up with the idea we said it was impossible? That was never an issue. The issue is how effective it is against a "quality" made block and then the reliability of it in general. Sure one guy might run a year with it, but WHY? If a good water block is just as good then why risk it. Well as most of you should know by now I have little issue risking things to prove if something is good or bad right or wrong.
This is not a NEW idea and it has been tried over and over again. Some by our own members here and they have not had better results than a standard block from what they say. Well I will add jet impingement to make it as efficient as I can and get down to reality with it.
Note my new tittle I asked Joe to put in for me.
As for the top it is shown above.
