Good work jaydee.

If you're interested, I'll see if I can dig up a reject Cascade middle plate. Some come off the machine with a few tubes split - if more than 2 are split then I reject the plate, however I may be able to find one where the damage is restricted to some outer tubes and should be easy enough to work around.

All you need to do then is make up some templates that block off the top entrances to the jets that don't touch the CPU die, and basically you can re-use the one plate across a variety of dies by doing this.

Let me know and I'll find a middle and top plate to send your way if possible. Just make up a bottom plate to stand the jets away from the CPU die and to seal to the CPU and you're in business.

BTW, I have tried the Cascade with 1C water (ice blocks in an esky) and picked up an extra 100MHz out of the CPU. I was running my XP2800+ Barton at over 2800MHz without worries.
