I'm just trying to get a feel for why this design works so well, point me the right direction, please

I understand heat conduction and transfer pretty well and according to the formula for heat conduction the big reason for the increase in performance of this block is the fact that the barrier is made considerably thinner in the cup regions and the surface area there has been increased considerably. Also the increased water speed due to the multiple "mini-jets".

Interested in the theory going on here since this is a pretty new deal with water blocks.
