Another nice tweak Jaydee.

A idea I suggested in your other thread would perhaps add to things.

USe a copper reducer like you used before. Only instead of going from small to larger, have it going from 1/2" to 3/8" or even 1/4" to increase the waters velocity just as it's entering the blocks pin area. With a pointed center pin this would send a fast flow of water aginst the inside edge of all the perimiter pins for really good cooling aginst those rough sided pins as well as a dimple pattern between the pins.

And a reduction in the inlet size would be desireable as well because the inflowing water will have some of the water out at the very edge of the CPU just as it comes in or even off the edge of the CPU a bit. The water at the CPU's edge and outside the die area will contribute almost nothing to cooling of the die if the full sized inlet is used.

EDIT:
And what would be the velocity increase of a 3/8" as compared to a 1/2" be? 80% higher velocity? And a 1/2" outlet for minimum resistence can still be used.
