Also note my block is going to be for GPU aswell which are getting 50-75watts these days, and the heat is spread out over the GPU and NB. If it wasn't then there would be no reason to make the chipset as big as it is. Every section of the chip has parts underneath it and they all make heat. If you want the best overclocking then you need to cool the entire area of the chipset and add about 15% for heat spread on all sides. Haveing a hot spot in a critical area is not a good thing for overclocking. I prefer to cover the entire area and then some. I am not going ot half ass anything on this project just because I can.
Socko: Rotor blocks are way to restrictive for something like this. Not to mention I have a CNC mill and plan to use it. Which is much easier than a Rotor block. Sitting there watching the mill work is not a tough job.
