Gone_Fishin: how do you justify having to use an IHS? I just want more details as to what you're thinking.
Otherwise, The White Water and the Cascade may suffer a marginal performance hit (or boost?), from a 10 by 10 mm die, but is it significant?
The various hot points of a CPU core really can't be simulated, because there's no data available on that. I believe that it's sufficient to simply state that the heat die must generate "X" Watts. I don't believe that any waterblock is intentionally designed to take advantage of the distribution of the heat load, within the die.
