So... I finally got around to making my first post here so I might make a new thread too =), here goes...

Ihave been working on changing to water cooling because I want lower noise levels from my computer (currently running a Vapochill classic). I already bought a 310mm*50mm*10mm piece of copper and I'm hopefully going to use it as baseplates for CPU, GPU and Northbridge...

I'm propably going to do #Rotor on all of them with polycarb top with 13mm/16mm id barbs... If I don't screw up somewhere along the way I should have some extra copper left and here's a couple of ideas I might try, so please tell why these wont work :D.

Here's a top view (cut half in the middle) of

this baseplate, so it's basically direct die (correct lining up would be a bitch)... If I have understood correctly, this kind of setup shouldn't corrode the die too fast (distilled water and 5-10% glycol in circulation)?

Next one looks like this:

It's basically a classic #Rotor but I have been toying with an idea of threading the holes above the core (I would use 4mm drill everywhere else and then drill these holes to 3mm and thread them to M4 (4mm))... Would that give any kind of performance gain a) because of bigger surface area and/or b) maybe increased turbulence?

And the last one is more of a late-night-persistent-idea -kind of combination of previous two:

...where the threaded holes above core would be actual holes reaching the core :) (or maybe very very thin baseplate, like 0,5mm or something like that)...

So, please flame me back to stone age =).
