Looking gooood guys. I think we are on the starting of a large pin-fin wave

I think the pin fins are becoming more popular. The designs simply work. I am suprised it has taken so long to really start getting noticed though. I developed and fabricated the Aluminum Lemon Block about 2 years ago now. The Copper one is pretty much the same except with a few changes to work better with Copper. Swiftech has been using similar design for who knows how long.
The Lemon Block Cu will work very well with IHS CPU's and with TEC's. The link is posted above, I belive all the specs are in that thread.
I can guesstimate the specs of Jon's block there but I will keep it to my self.
The block I am designing here will have all the specs posted. Currently I am not even sure what they are yet though. It will be designed around current AMD Barton CPU's though. I have some work to do in that area yet.
